Printed by John T. and Lem. Towers. Representative Peckham states, "... after thoroughly examining this bill, its history and progress, and the legislation pertaining to it, I cannot give it my support, believing that it contains none of the principles, nor will its passage produce any of the results, under which it is sought to be imposed upon the public."
