Considerable interest is beginning
10 outcrop with reference to the pub
Acation and distribution OF the revised
statutes after they shall finally have
been adopted by the legislature. Some
of the members are wondering who is
TO control the publication-the state,
as was the case in 1878, or private
parties who may then charge the state
and citizens generally what they
please. 1t seems that, strangely
enough, no indication has come from
any source as yet relative to this mat
upon this phase OF the question 50
material to the state. Last evening
members were asking il Il bill ism t TO

the statutes shall be sold. One men,

have Il bill ready for introduction this
morning, but that the committee on
claims would have to consider the
measure and that it would of course

be printed and the price at which they
should be sold. He presumed the state
might need at least 1000 sets. Two
pl propositions, he said, had been inform
ally discussed, one being to have the
state take entire control of the work,
pay Sanborn and Bergman for their
work of revision, and print and sell
the books at actual cost, the plan pur-
sued with the last revision. The other
was TO turn over the whole thing to
Sanborn and Bergman, the state to
even permit them to copyright the
work. Just what course would finally
be followed, he did not know. In fact,
he admitted that he had thought very
little about the matter. Such other
members as were spoken to seemed 70
have thought even less about it up TO
the present time, notwithstanding the
fact that the published work under GER
tain circumstances, may cost the state
at the outset from $4,000 to $4,000
and large sums thereafter.
