volume may contain. The secretary of state, however, who authorizes the 

 payment of all bills for state printing, has ruled that the 500 pages shall' 

 include the illustrations. When these are numerous, as is the case in the 

 last volume of the proceedings, this reduces quite materially the number of 

 pages of reading matter that may be published. The other bill provides for 

 the purchase of the necessary cuts and plates for the illustrations and does 

 away with the trouble previously experienced in getting the bills for these 

 allowed by tVe executive council. 



During the past year there has been the usual annoying delay in getting 

 the volume of the proceedings printed and bound. Owing to the press of 

 legislative and other state printing incident to the meeting of the legislature 

 it was late in the summer before the state printer began work on the pro- 

 ceedings, and afterward they were held for nearly two months in the 

 bindery. But volume IX has finally been received and is being distributed 

 as rapidly as possib'e. Including the illustrations it contains 300 pages and 

 makes the largest volume yet published.
