Three bills relating to the publication publica-tion of legal notices in the state of Utah have been introduced in the lower house of the legislature by Representative Rep-resentative I. H. Masters of Provo. They are designed to make the publication publi-cation of certain public business notices no-tices mandatory, and further to provide pro-vide that such notices shall appear in publications of a-recognized standing and circulation. An example of brevity, often conspicuous conspic-uous by its absence in legislatures was presented by Representative I. H. Masters Mas-ters of Provo, when he introduced house bill No. 24, proposing to make railroad companies liable for livestock killed or injured on railroad tracks. Exclusive of the title and enacting clause the measure cpnsisted of twenty-nine words.

A draft of what is known as the Americanization act has been prepared and submitted to a member of the senate sen-ate of the Utah legislature for possible presentation in the upper house in the near future. |
