and it is therefore of immediate and pressing i'm
portance that said book be copied or transcribed
by order of this board pursuant to section $50 of
the revised statutes. Therefore your petitioner
prays that a special committee be appointed by
your honorable board to examine said index book
and ascertain the truth of the representations
contained In this petition as to the necessity of
making copy of the same, and that such com
mittee be empowered to contract with your petit
toner pursuant to the provisions of the statute
above cited for the making of such copy, or that
your honorable body take such other action in the
