nave been made about the chaotic
condition of the laws relative to bor-
oughs, actions at law frequently hay-
ing been lost because the right form
was not used when there were two or
three methods laid down in books
Every session there has been an out
put of new laws relative to boroughs,
ana an effort will be made to get
them in simple form.

"a day, and as yet no criticism has
been heard, although it has been in
Vited for general information.
