department is done. there; and with a
little enlargement it can be made avail

oujred by the state, at a cost greatly be-
low the prices now paid. 1t is sug-
gested that the court reports, which are
now published at a great expense,
could be printed and bound there. 1t
would be light work for a Judge when
writing an opinion to make the sylla-
bus: then the work of preparation for
publication would be small. These sug-
gestions, if acted on, will save the large
