We have approved bills of persons employed as follows: June 2, Emlin McClain............. $1,500.00 June 15, White Transfer Company, moving safe............. 10.00 50.00 June 30, Miss Capitola Mardis, clerk supervising committee 75.00 87.00 June 30, Mrs. C. A. Neidig, proof reader 30.80 300.00 The comparison of copies furnished by the Secretary of State and numbering of sections of the Code having been completed, we have reduced the clerical help to the proof reader and the clerk of the committee acting as assistant, the compensation of each being $75 a month. Your committee has received a large number of requests from members of the bar of the State, to cite the Northwestern Reporter in the annotations in addition to the Iowa reports. The provisions for annotating do not authorize this to be done, the expense and delay would be considerable and the book enlarged. Part of the Code was already printed, so your committee found it impossible to comply with these requests, except as to decisions of the United States courts and of the Supreme Court of Iowa not officially reported, but will issue a circular letter explaining the reasons for not doing it. We find that the work of the extra session in the enrollment of the laws is practically free from error. The work is progressing in a satisfactory manner; the editor reports that he can finish the index within a brief time after the last of the printing is done. The State printer reports that he can finish the printing by September 5, 1897, if there are no unnecessary delays in furnishing copy and reading proof. The work is so organized that no such delay will occur. Your committee is confident that the Code will be completed by October 1, 1897. Respectfully submitted, J. H. TREWIN, Ordered passed on file.
