OBSOLETE STATUTES ARE TO BE
CUT OUT OF MlSSoURrS
CODE BOOK.
ACCUMULATING MANY YEARS
Lawyers to Do This important Work
viii Be Selected by the Gov
ernor Within the Next
Few Weeks.
Jefferson ct,


Gov Major has in mind the ap
pointment of one more special com.
mission to suggest amendatory or cor
rectiNe legislation to the next general
assembly.
This commission will consist of law.
gers and il will be named with an
idea OF clearing the overhurdened
statutes OF dead" matter which has
been accommodating for years.
There are many statutes in the law
books OF the state that have been nul
lifted wholly or in part by court de
Cisions, but which never were elimi.
mated by revision. Some Of them date
back 20 years.
There is no use in carrying these
dead and obsolete laws and sections
OF the statutes any longer" said Gov.
Major, and the commission am
thinking of naming would do great
work in simply indicating TO the gen.
eral assembly those which should be
taken out
There are innumerahle instances in
the statutes where dead laws remain
Tor years after the supreme court has
declared them invalid"
The governor said the commission
will Ne named within the next two or
three weeks.

Ninth-The following are the things
that can be done TO advantage:
A-Wtden roads 10 40 feet
B-Cutting all hedges 10 feet or
less in height, and if possible pulling
hedges, especially at corners.
Ground all road corners by hav-
ing rebuilt the fence at a square cor.

D-~Put in Culverts where needed.
E--Cut down the hills wherever pos. I
