State Library Bulletin Legislation No 1 February 1891

Excerpt from State Library Bulletin, Legislation No. 1, February, 1891: Comparative Summary and Index of State Legislation in 1890 A Classified comparative summary of legislation with a subject index is made on cards by the legislative sub-librarian, Mr W. B. Shaw, as fast as the session laws come into the state library. This is necessary to enable him to answer promptly frequent inquiries as to legislation in other states. The library has been urged to print this index at the beginning of each year in order that legislators and other state officers may know at a glance what of special value in the subject under consideration is avail able in the publications of other states in our state library Without the labor of going there to consult the ms. Index. It is believed that this will not only save much time but will contribute materially to the advancement of the standards of legislation, if the promoters and opponents of each measure are able with a minimum of labor to utilize the experience of other states which have been recently working over the same or similar problems.
