This final report OF the, legislative
session is made one day ahead of the
final adjournment, and probably fifty
more bills of more or less Importance
will still be enacted into laws. Most
of them, however, are appropriation
bills, and these run into the millions.
The undersigned has enedeavored to
compile and present for the readers
of 1870 papers of this state the gist
of legislative procedure and results at
this hirty-eighth session. We hope
the work has been worth while. and
we appreciate the many commenda-
tons offered us during the session.
