[Approved March 4, 1912]

      Whereas, The amount of work found necessary to be performed in the preparation of the new code and revised laws, in order to bring them up to that standard of perfection which the work merited, greatly exceeded all expectations and caused the justices of the supreme court, as code commissioners, to work for the past fourteen months without any pay whatever for their services rendered in completing these codes and revised laws, as code commissioners; and

      Whereas, By reason of said increased work it has become necessary to get the said code and revised laws out in two volumes rather than in one volume as originally intended, thereby causing an additional cost in printing and binding, but making the work more valuable and to the financial advantage of the state by the increase in the selling price to $14 per set; and

      Whereas, The appropriations heretofore made having become exhausted, and it being necessary to complete the printing and binding of the second volume of said Revised Laws of Nevada, and to pay for the services performed which remain unpaid;

The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and

Assembly, do enact as follows:

      Section 1.  There is hereby appropriated out of any money in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $498.66 to be paid to E. T. Patrick for additional services rendered in the preparation of said above referred, the Revised Laws of Nevada.

      Sec. 2.  There is hereby appropriated out of any money in the state treasury, not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $3,000, for the purpose of defraying the additional expenses of printing and binding said laws above referred to.

      Sec. 3.  There is hereby appropriated out of any money in the state treasury, not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $4,500, for the purpose of paying $1,500 each to the justices of the supreme court, as code commissioners, for additional services rendered in the preparation of said Revised Laws and in full payment for all services to be rendered in the completion of said code.
