been appointed by your honorable body commissioner to select arrange and compile with suitable index marginal notes and table of contents for publication such laws of the congress of the united states as are applicable to or in force in this territory I 1 respectfully submit the following report of my doings in the premises immediately after my appoints appointment the work of compiling was commenced and continued until the tho compilation was ready for the press on the ninth of may 1872 a requisition was made on the secretary of the territory for the necessary funds to enable your commissioner to prosecute the work of compi compiling M ing and printing but his honor george A black declined and refused to pay the expenses of the same or any pa part thereof saying that he was not authorized to so disburse the funds appropriated by congress for legislative purposes hence your commissioner was obliged to resort to the appropriation made by you at your last session for this purpose while antwork at work on the compilation I 1 was in frequent communication with the public printer to ascertain when he would be ready to commence printing the same ard aad on the twenty fourth day of october 1872 the compilation bein boin w then ready for the press was deposited with the public printer and remained in his hia possession until some time last fall when it was taken awa while the laws passed at the last session of congress which were applicable to the territory were added to it the printer commenced work on the compilation about the first of the tho present month and has consid erable enable el able abie of it now in type but when it will be completed we cannot say definitely now but believe it is the intention of the printer to continue at the work until it is completed the copy is all ready for the press with mith marginal notes but the index and table of contents cannot of course be prepared until the body of the work is in type the cost of the compilation thus far has been for days work at boo per day Vs 00 for statutes at large and stationery used 75 00 i for room koom fuel and lights 50 00 au I 1 have drawn from froma the 1 treasury for work etc as above kaw 00 for raper paper for pu public hiie hile printer 00 which leaves a balance of the appropriation made by you at your last of 1000 00 in conclusion I 1 would say that your commissioner is now and has it at all times since his appointment been ready to complete we the work without delay and has only been deterred by the public printer not being prepared to do the printing as fast as the matter was ready for the press regretting that the work is not completed BO so that a full report could be made and hoping that it may be done before the close of the present
