Denver.-Governor Ammons has ap-
proved number of the bills passed
by the Nineteenth General Assembly
by subscribing his name thereto.
One measure was vetoed. This pro-
posed law was S. B. 1923, introduced
by Senator Cornforth, and it related
to the powers of directors of corpora
tions. 1t required the publication of
full lists of stockholders in connec-
ton with the calling of stockholders
meetings. This would entail immense
expense" said the governor, 'inas-
much as some corporations have
thousands of stockholders. If the
bill had provided that a printed list
of names and addresses of stockhold-
ers be sent to each stockholder ]
would have signed the BILL"

ernor's approval become laws. the fol-
