LIST OF NEW ACTS
Passed by the Legislature at It's
Recent Session.
NONE VERY IMPORTANT.
Re ad it Over Carefully and Then
File 1t Away for future
Referenc9.

The work Of the General Assembly,
which las just adjourned, is best shown
in the compact list Of acts that were en-
acted By the lawmakers. LAST year there
we're l7S acts and resolutions enacted
into law. This year there were not as
many acts snd resolutions passed, the
total number being l52.
In order that the work may be more
readily grasped and understood the list
ofrstised acts has been divided up into
eroups, vhicL cover the main features
of the legislation. 1t will be seen that
most Of the legislation this year, as
usual, referred to petty county matters,
raising the salary Of a county officer or
providing for some Insignificant road
work. Then there is large instalment
Of acts that refer to special schools,
where authority Of law is given for the
erection Of school building, the bor
rowing Of money for this work or the
changing Of the law as to the election
Of the trustees. A great many Of the
measures refer to claims that were pre-
sented, and glance will show that
there we're precious few bills Of q gen
eral character that were enacted into
statutory law.
The greater part Of the work of this
session would be covered on negative
sheet By showing what was not enacted
into law.

eral interest st the closing up Of the
