eo GARb To An FF HxTRA sEssI e E
Whereas, the people of the state. Of Iowa
have deemed it advisable to codify and
.evise the statutes Of the state and the
ence to the viii of the people as inter
oreted by them, appointed commission
o do said work and make repost thereof
20 the Twenty-sixth general assembly
,or their action; and
Whereas, said commission after two
Tears labor reported to tsa Twellty-siXth
ensrsl a aasemly cabta PIqposed rsv e9as
ind codidcation Of tlie statutes Of the
tate, and this assembly has en-
cred into an examination and dis
,Gssion Thereof, and has now been in
easion the customary period and has not
cen able to pass upon more than one-hsif
# said report UP to the present time for
First that the assembly has been COM
relied to consider matters ds Ct orlsinaIl leg
the aforesaid code work;
Second, for the reason that the revision
equires an examination of the code Of
siS and the acts Of eleven general assem- NJ,
inclusive, and the work of examining
ind comparing the proposed code with
Existing statutes Is slow and laborlous,
lion embodied in the reported code mum
.rous changes from existing law, which
,hanges have compelled the. general as
.embly to consume time in their eXamin
tion and discussion; and
Whereas, doubts have arisen as to the
accuracy OF the revision Of certain chap
,ers and titles and 1t is deemed unwise to
pass the same until ample time can be
given the people of the state to examine
ind compare the proposed code with ex-
sting law. and
Whereas, the proposed code was, not
published until December, 1885, and little
opportunity was given for such examine
ation and comparison by any one prior
10 tho converting of this general assem-
bly,; and
Whereas, the future value of the re-
vision depends upon the care exercised
Ii the work, and its Importance demands
ample. time for thorough consideration
s Necessary. while the proposed revision
Is under discussion. Therefore beit
Resolved, by the senate. the house con-
curing, that we deem it impossible I'M
der existing circumstances TO complete
the work Of code revision at this or any
extension OF the present session, In a
manner that would be satisfactory and
acceptable and just to the people Of the
state.
That the propriety and expectancy of
ccde revision cannot now be questioned,
and the work, If thoroughly DONE will be
of lasting value to the state,
That we deem it advisable to secure the
acquired by this assembly in the work of
code revision and the benefit of the work
done by them, and believe it to be for the
welfare of the state and in the interest
bf economy that the work be Completed
at as carly a date as practioa BILE, and not
later than January, 1897.
