He cited arguments of the Constitutional Convention of 1894 and 1915 to support his contention that at all times the Senate should be as close to the basic figure of 50 as possible.

After the 1917 reapportionment, the existing counties must be given their status as of 1940, the date of the last Federal census, Epstein added. 'By so doing," he contended, "Bronx County becomes entitled to two additional Senators and Kings to one, thus the total number of Senators would be 53." Contested by L. I. Man Wojtkowiak's action was one of three contesting the new law. Other actions were brought by Davis Fay of Bayside, L.

and A. B. Thompson of New York. All the suits contended that the increase in the number of Senators from 51 to 56 was a violation of the State constitution. Fay contended the number of Senators in Westchester and Nas- sau counties should be reduced and Wojtkowiak charged the law was unfair in that Erie County was i given no additional Senatorial dis- trict, although each one of Its dis- trict represented more citizens than will a new one to be created in Westchester.
