  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 1 of chapter 21  of  the  laws  of

more  shall  be  a matter for local determination within each such city.
Any such determination shall be made by the local  legislative  body  of
such  city on or before April first, nineteen hundred sixty-seven and at
