PASSED AT THE REGULAR SESSION OF THE Fourteenth General Assembly OF THE STATE OF IOWA, BEGUN JANUARY 8, AND ENDED APRIL 23, 1872. PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY. DES MOINES: G. W. EDWARDS, STATE PRINTER. 1872. NOTICE. This volume of the laws of the State of Iowa is published in accordance with "an act to provide for the publication and distribu"tion of the laws of the regular session of the Fourteenth General "Assembly," approved April 23, 1872, which act provides that said laws shall be divided into "two series or parts, one of said "parts to contain all the general or public laws of the session, and "the other part to contain all the private, local, and temporary laws "with the joint resolutions and memorials." Said act further provides that "the chapters of each part shall be numbered separately "in the order of their approval." Prior to the passage of the above mentioned act, the several acts or laws had been chaptered and numbered in one series in the order of their approval, and many of them published in newspapers and therein designated by such chapters and numbers. The provision requiring the laws to be divided into two series, rendered it necessary to change the numbering of the chapters in all cases except the first five chapters of the Private, Local, and Temporary Laws. In order to prevent confusion I have placed the original number at the upper left hand corner of each chapter in figures [thus: CH. 125]; and in cases where an act refers to one previously passed, and recites the number of the chapter of such act, the new number follows the one recited [thus: xxix.]. Whenever it appears evident that an error had occurred by the use of an improper word, such word is put in italics; and whenever it appears evident that a word had been omitted it is inserted in brackets [thus].
