Soye been omitted from the compilation
,srv few bills Of even triiling iocal I'M

relating to IL
owing TO the great variety of topics
.overed by the sum total of bills passed,
n has been impossible to include many
NJ them under any of the twenty-sX
heads. For this reason 1t has Deen
found necessary to group them under
the miscellaneous heads, giving the title
Of each.
Inasmuch as the governor has five
DAYS after the adjournment of the Leg
islature in which to either approve or
pocket veto bills passed during the clos
ing hours. that official will not complete
the work of examining all the bills UNI
III late in the week. 1t has, therefore,
been deemed expedient to append list
Of the bills remaining in his hands at
this date. and mention the few that it
is deemed probable that he will veto.
II has also been deemed proper to
give liberal extracts from some of the
bills of greater Importance, and to give
others in full
