pradesh and for increasing the strength of the legislative councils of the other states having such councils at present the strength of a legislative cowlcil bears no relation either to the population or to the strength of the legislative assembly of the state in the bill it is proposed to fix the strength of each legislative council at roughly 30% of the strength of the corresponding legislative

provided therein, except that the number of members to be nominated by the governor is fixed at 12 instead of 15, and the three seats so saved, are distributed among the other four categories in subclauses (3) and (4) provision is made for delimitation of the council constituencies and for the constitution of the council as soon as practicable after such delimitation clause 4 and the first schedule-the total membership of the bihar gouncil is increased from 72 tj 96, which is 30 per cent of the strength of the bihar legislative assembly the number of persons to be nominated by the governor will, however, continue to be 12 the number of persons to be elected by graduates and by teachers will be 8 each which is exactly one-twelfth of the total membership the remaining 68 se"lts are equally divided between the representatives of local authorities and the representatives of the bihar legislative assembly sub-clause (2) and the first schedule provide for the amendment of the delimitation of council constituencies (bihar) order, 1951, which is necessary because of the increased representation given to the various council constituencies sub-clause (4) empowers the governor to modify, in consultation with the election commission, the terms of office of the additional members to be elected so that one-third of the total number of members of the council may retire on the 6th may, 1958, and every second year thereafter clause 5-1t is proposed to increase the strength of tbe bombay council from 72 [as fixed by section 34 (3) of the states reorganisation act, 1956] to 108 while the number of nominated members - will remain 12 as at present, the number to be elected by graduates and by teachers will be raised from 6 to 9 which is one-twelfth of the total strength

adding to the former punjab council six members elected by the members of the former pepsu legislative assembly sub-sections (3) and (4) of that section provide for a complete re-constitution of the council with a total strength of 40 members only even when that act was under consideration in parliament it was felt that a wholesale re-constitution should not be necessary in punjab as in bombay or mysore and that some method should be devised for continuing the old council with suitable representation for the pepsu area now that the constitution permits the strength of the council to be increased to 51 (which is less than one-third of the total membership of the punjab assembly), it is proposed to modify section 37 of the states reorganisation act by omitting sub-sections (3) and (4) and thereby obviating the necessity of reconstituting the existing council that council will be treated as the permanently constituted council for punjab, but its number will be increased to 51 the nominated element will remain unaltered at 8, the representation given to graduates and teachers will be increased in each case from 3 to 4, that given to the local authorities will be increased from
