have a general idea Of what law they want
to soc. They will easily ind some CROSS
reference in the ample index
While there has been no haste in having
the laws printed yet simply by systematic
management and constant ADDRESS 10 the
subject, | have been able to have tne
laws published and presented to the public
about ty-Hye days earlier than they
hive been published heretofore as rule,
and about twenty-five days earlier than the
earl. est publication ever made heretofore.
1t may arrear somewhat remarkable 10
some in view of the length OF time usually
taken to publish the session acts, waen
| further say that would have furnished
the printed laws fifteen days earlier yet
than they are presented. but for tho UNI
avoidable halt in the work caused by fail
ure of the paper mills to get paper here In
time The floods in the Brazos contrlhut-
ed slightly to this delay, in holding UP the
paper on its way to Austin
Notwithstanding the voluminous size OF
the book, II Is also presented to the pubic
at a lower price than the session laws
have ever yet been sold, and yet the price
fixed pays the state the 70 per cent above
the cost OF publication required by law,
The price is 20 cent per copy at the de-
partment, and 80 cents by mail.
] take great PLEASURE In recognizing the
faithful and efficient aid of the public
contractors in the speedy and accurate
publication of these laws, From the be-
ginning they knew my desire to have them
published as soon as was consistent with
absolute accuracy, and while under the
law they are given sixty days in which
to publish the acts after they are pre-
scented with copy. yet they stood not on
the order of their going nor asked for
the time allowed by law, but seconded my
efforts with as much zeal and efficiency,
dare say, as can be found recorded of any
government contractors.
