Supreme Court of Oklahoma

Decided March 1, 1927No. 18128PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtHarrison, J.

The purpose of this suit is to test the validity of the purported amendment to the charter of Oklahoma City, adopted at the last general election, the object of which was to change from what is designated as the commission form to a managerial form of government.

The principal contention of plaintiffs in error, who were plaintiffs below, is that the purported amendment is, not in' fact a mere amendment, but in fact and in legal effect is an out and out new charter, and being a new charter, was not adopted as required by the Constitution of the state, and is therefore invalid.
