The WORK OF The
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
ACTS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS OF
THE SESSION.
A Complete List Given for the Convenience
OF the People Of the State.

The legislature has completed its
work and adjourned, and naturally
the question will be asked, What has
been done? Below is published a
list of the acts and joint resolutions
ratified at the sessions just closed.
OF the new laws few of them are
of great importance. The greatest
interest conferred in the new jury law,
the new road law and the new county
government law, which were made
necessary by the decisions of the
courts declaring the old laws to be
unconstitutional. The new laws On
these subjects we're prepared with a
great deal of care but it remains to
be seen if they will stand the tests of
the courts.
It will be noted that a great many
of the new acts relate to unimpor-
tant matters. a large per cent OF
them relate to purely local affairs,
such as school districts, county mat
ters, etc. There are some unimpor-
tant changes in the pension laws, and
some new regulations for municipal
tiles. But taken all in all the work
