tribution of 6anborn and BerryHlan's anuo-
tated statutes, and to appropriate money there
for.
Whereas. the legislature of 1889, authorized
Messrs Sanborn and Bergman to prepare and
publish, or cause to be pu blished, the public
laws OF the state of Wisconsin, III fierce at the
close of the session, of that legislature and
made such statutes prima iacie evidence in all
courts and proceedings of whatever nature; and
Whereas such compilation has been made in
a manner which has met with the approval of
the bench and bar and the general public. and
so as to be OF great use to all public officers: and
Whereas, the need of a revision of the laws has
by reason of the compilation of the annotated
statutes been made unnecessary, whereby a
large sum OF money has been or will be saved to
the state; and he state can purchase the same
cheaper than the towns and counties can do
upon separate orders: therefore.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented
in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

eTty is hereby directed to purchase Of the pub
fishers Of the annotated statutes of Wisconsin a
