Der 1t this juncture and the subject under

they failed to deliver the books on that date
sometimes delivering them as . very late
date, seldom before the last Of June OF
July, and In some years not until August.
For that reason . provision was put in that

mit,ee after considering the matter care
fully. The number 20, answering to the
inquiry Of Senator Walton, was merely
copied from An old resolve, some years more
are required, aud some years less. The
State requires them for binding purposes.
I understand the price has always
been Sl.50 certainly for good many years.
Mr.. Donham states, and it 10 we'll UNDER
stood that they made poor paying business
out Of this until recently.
Mr.. Pettsngill Of Oxford-In regard to
tho two prices, will say what my
experience hss been. There are two edi-
tions Of the book, one known - the Legis-
lative edition, containing . map of the
State, rules Of the Senate and House and
matters of general note, desirable for one
class Of customers. aud that edition is al
ways sold for 81 50. There 10 another
edition, printed without q map, without the
rules, ETC., referred to, costing $l.25
This is the Legislative edition and every
member has . copy in his desk.
