That was at a constitutional con

I in 41 amendments.
Several recent proposals for an
other constitutional conventk*
have lieon rejected by the legisla

This has meant, according to *
I legislative council report, that

initiated by the legislature last
year. Nine other proposed amend
ments were rejected by the legis
lature.
| The other two amendments on
the ballot came from initiative pe
titions signed by more than 57.0(1
Nebraskans.
One of these would authorize tf»
legislature to impose a five per
cent tax on the gross revenue dr
public power bodies selling elee
tricity at retail in towns and c’rtiw.
The second initiative petition
would legalize the playing of binge
in the state, with licensing anC
regulation to be provided by the
legislature and the operation lim
ited to non-profit associations.

2. Authorize the legislature n,
clear property titles by releasing
real property from tax and assess
