ter by chapter as nearly as may be,
and made reports to the full commit
tee for approval, and then the same
was checked over by Judge Graham
and myself. chairmen of the respective
committees.
while we have found and correct
ed some errors. and have made some
changes deemed necessary by the COM
mittee. / think it but just and fair,
and il gives me pleasure to state that
the Code Commissioners have done
their work admirably and they de-
serve the thanks of the State there
for.
Il desire to state further, that there
have been no arbitrary changes in the
work of the Code Commission by our
committee or by any member thereof,
but such changes as were deemed ad-
vsable were made only after careful
consideration and deliberation by
members OF the committee. and by Il
vote of a majority of those present.
and l think in nearly every instance
after consultation with some members
of the Code Commission
Soon after we commenced our
work. i'm accordance with joint res
olution of the Senate and House of
Representatives, about one hundred
volumes of the advance sheets of the
reVisal were sent to attorneys and
business men in various parts of the
state. accompanied by a letter signed
by Judge Graham and myself. asking
their cooperation and suggestions in
the performance of our duties. In re-
Spouse thereto we received many and
valuable suggestions. but for lack of
time we have been unable thor
oughly consider or adopt them to any
considerable extent.
when changes in the law of any
general Importance have been suggest
ed. and there was any serious objec-
ton or opposition thereto. we have
deemed it best not to insert same but
10 leave it for future consideration.
There are no citations or annota-
tons of Supreme Court decisions and
while this would have added greatly
TO the usefulness of the work, we have
thought il wise not to DELAY the pub
LEGATION of the laws for this to be done,
but to issue the reviSal now and to leave
the annexation for further legislation
or To be done by some energetic and
patriotic attorney. We have done our
best under all the circumstances. and
| trust our efforts may meet approval
not only of this body but of the peo-
pie of the State
