measure through the Legislature and
find that it was several times amended
and that, as finally passed. the title of
the bill covered sufficiently the sub
ject matter embraced within the body
of the bill. 1t appears therefore that
an error was made in the enrolment
of the bill, so that when submitted to
the governor for his signature it was
la different measure than when pass
ed by the legislature. Under our con-
stitution. the title is an essential part
Of the act, and it has been held by
a number of courts of this country that
where the title of the enrolled bill
differs materially from the title of
the act as passed. it does not become
q law. 1t has also been held in a
large number Of cases that when the
bill approved by the governor and au-
thenticated as the law requires. is ma
terially different from the bill passed
by the two houses, it will be held a
nullity. See Lewis Sutherland Statu-
tory CONSTRUCTION, section fifty-two and
cases cited.
I'm view of this discrepancy be-
tween the title of the act and the body
thereof, l am satisfied that the law
must be held null and void"

ANOTHER NEW LAW DECLARED 70
Be VOID BY ATTORNEY GENERAL

North Dakota's new. law compell-
ing the adoption of certain sanitary
regulations in school houses. public
halls and public buildings, is null and
void. Opinion to tina. effect is render
ed IN a statement supplied to the state
superintendent of public instruction
by the attorney general.
In this measure the legislature
sought to compel the regular fumi-
cation Of public buildings. but it is de-
clared void and imperative in the fol-
lowing letter to the superintendent
of public instruction from Attorney
General Miller:
You have called attention to
chapter siXty-three of the laws of 1911
and asked for an opinion on its mean
ing. 1t appears from the title that
the act prescribes the duties of local
school boards relative to sanitary reg
ulations of school houses. churches
and public halls and from the body of
the bill that it prescribes the duties
of local boards of health relative to
such buildings. but says nothing what
ever regarding the duties Of school
boards. The latter subject is no m
braced in the title to the enrolled bill
and the measur is therefore in my
judgment invalid.

The sales have already been declar-

of the unfavorable weather, will very

Another fact that has contributed
SO largely to the success of the big

in question.
