The entire session was devoted to the
reading and passage of bill to revise,
amend and codify the code in relation to
the rights Of property An attempt was
made by those members still holding the
view that the code can be adopted at this
session to save time in the consideration OF
the bill by having read by the clerk such
sections only as contain changes from the
old law, and that the bill be called by
sections for amendments, but the motion
was defeated by the opposition and the
reading of the lengthy and tedious report
consumed almost the entire session
