publication, said commissioners shall
prepare an exact copy thereof for pubIi-
cation and shall prefix the enacting
clause to the first title only. If in the
preparation of such copy they discover
obvious mistakes occasioned by the on1is-
sion or insertion of words, by erroneous
references to titles, chapters or sections,
or by typographical errors, they shall
correct the same.
Sec H. When sufficient copy is ready
: to indicate the style and size of the work
required, the trustees of the state library
shall determine the sizes and kinds Of
type to be used in the different classes
or departments of the work; and said
trustees shall likewise determine whether
the work shall be in one or IN two
volumes, the kind of binding and the
quality of paper to be used, and such
other details as are proper for considera-
ton They shall also determine the
number of copies to be printed, and shall
fix the price at which the bound volume
or volumes shall be sold They shall
also fix the number of unbound copies to
be furnished which shall not exceed
two hundred, and shall fix the price at
which each unbound volume may be sold.
In fixing the price of the book or books
comprising the work, said trustees shall
take into account the actual expense of
printing, binding and proof reading, as
nearly as the same can be estimated, may
also consider the expense involved in
editing and preparing the work for pub
LEGATION and may add such proportion
thereof to the price to be charged to pur-
chasers of the work as said trustees may
deem just Said trustees may if it seems
to them that there is likely to be de-
mand for the same, arrange for the pub
Ilication of an interviewed edition of the
General Laws to such number as they
may authorize, and, if such edition IS
published said trustees shall determine
the style of binding and fix the price at
which such edition shall be sold.

tiers left to their decision under the pro-
visions of the preceding section, said

imissioners to furnish information as
called for, or promptly to supply the
printers with copy for the work, or sea-
sonably to correct and return proof or
