CODE coMMIssIcrs coNvENEs
Senator BIilp Talks Of the Work Of the
Revision of Statutes

State Senator Robert N. Bulla is preparing
| to attend the final session of the code com
mission, which will convene at San Fran
cisco on the 18th inst. There is yet consid
cradle work to be done on the report befor,
it is filed with the governor on Dec. lst
Senator Bulla has been working on the sec
tion OF the code relative to municipal cor
porations, and will carry with him in Q
bulky package the fruit of his labors.
At present the code on municiapl subjects
is very much ont Of date, and has many con.
ficting statutes, which make it thing to be
avoided by attorneys.
The first meeting of the commission was
held in June of last year, and since then
ten or twelve others have been called at
various times. As result Of these meetings
the civil and the political codes have been
revised, making pile of typewriter manu-
script nearly twenty-four inches high. The
full report on these codes will be completed
some time in the early part of next week.
At the session which begins on the 18th the
penal code, it being next in order, will be
taken up. This, however, will be only a
supplemental report and will be filed at the
opening of the legislature.
The code relative to municipal corpora
tons is of particular interest to citizens of
Los Angeles, as in it is embodied provision
Tor police courts, which has obviated the
need of its insertion in the new city charter
On Dec. lst the code commission will SUBJ
init its work in two divisions. One will en-
aody the complete text of the civil and politi-
cal codes, as the commissioners have revised
it, which will contain only the actual law,
co-ordnated out of all the statutes, court
decisions and all the present codes. The Sec
ond will differ in that it is not one of re-
vision, but embodies ideas of the commits
sioners, which they thought too radical to
include in the revisory report. Both Sec
tions of the report are drawn up in the form
of bills, so that each matter can be presented
to the legislature in the regular order.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Bulla that the COM
ing session of the legislature will exceed the
limit, as there is considerable i'm
portant business to be taken up. The report
of the code commission will naturally re-
quire much time, as each point may be sub
ject of debate. Governor Budd's veto of the
printing office appropriation bill will be an
other important factor in prolonging the ses-
sion. The state printing office, which has
been closed in consequence of the veto, will
be reopened when the legislature convenes.

Marriage of the Dead

A Shansi missionary who went to conduct
a funeral the other day narrowly escaped
being present at a marriage. The dead man
was bachelor of so, and fearing that his
spirit would wander companionless in the
world of shades, relatives had secured the
countryside for dead maiden to marry to
him and bury with him. A desirable bride
had been found some seven miles away and
was encoffned and prepared for the double
ceremony Of marriage and burial. As soon
as the Christian service was concluded. and
the missionary and his friends had left. the
other ceremonies began. Marriages of the
dead by interested friends are common in

Real Estate In Anaconda Has Sold Well
and at Good Prices.

Anaconda enjoys the distinction
rare among Western town-of never
having had a boom. Her growth has
been gradual. but solid and subs.an-
tial. There has never been any wild
speculation in city lots. Real estate
transactions in Anaconda have almost
invariably had for the parties of III
second part men who have acquired
lots for building purposes n not for
speculation. The result OF this con-
dition OF affairs has been that trans
fers have been made quietly and with
out any flourish of trumpets.
Within the past year there has been
a large amount OF real estate business
in Anaconda. One has to but box
over the city and see the number Of
buildings that have been erected to
realize this. Deeds that have been
filed with the county recorder show
that the prices paid for lots have been
good and strong. although not unreal
