A Proposition Providing for incorporations of cities

The Delegates of the Constitutional Convention or the Territory of Utah, in Convention assembled, do propose as follows:

Sec 5. Corporations for municipal purposes shall not be created by special laws: but the Legislature, by general laws, shall provide for the incorporation, organization, and classification, in proportion to population of cities and towns, which laws may be altered, amended, or repealed. Cities and towns heretofore organized or incorporated, may become organised under such general laws whenever a majority of the electors voting at a general or special election shall so determine, and shall organize in conformity therewith; and cities or towns heretofore or hereafter organized, and al charters thereof frame by authority of this constitution, shall be subject to and controlled by general laws.
