to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

CHAPTER 54 OF THE CONSOLIDATED LAWS
Article *[1. Short title (§ 1).]
[2. State water supply commission (§§ 5-26).]
3. State probation commission (§§ 30, 31).
4. Commissioners for the promotion of uniformity of
legislation in the United States (§§ 40-43).
5. Commissioners of water power on Black river
6. The interstate bridge commission (§§ 55-63).
7. Laws repealed; when to take effect (§§ 70, 71).
ARTICLE 1
Shokt Title
Section 1. Short title.
§ I. Short title. This chapter shall be known as the "State
Boards and Commissions Law." [Repealed.]
This section was repealed by the Conservation Law (L. IWl, ch. 647)
§ 550. The inclusion of this section in that repeal was, probably, an error.
Article 2 of the State Boards and Commissions Law relating to " 6tate wuter
supply commission " and consisting of sections 5-26, was superseded by pro-
visions contained in the Conservation Law, and it is probable that the inten-
tion of the legislature was to include in the repeal only sections 5^26 of the
State Boards and Commissions Law.
The following sections of the repealed article together with any annotations
thereon are now covered by the Conservation Law as follows: Section 5, by
section 2; sections 6 and 7 by sections 521 and 522; section 8 by section
24; sections 10-19 by sections 407-417; section 20 by section 415; section
21 by section 418; sections 22a and 22b sections 419 and 420; sections 25
and 26 by sections 421 and 422.
The report of the Board of Statutory Consolidation (1907% page 5139, has
the following note relating to the scope of the law : " The * State Boards and
Commissions Law ' embraces provisions relating to state boards and commis-
sions which cannot be assigned appropriately to any other consolidated law
and which it has deemed best not to arrange into a separate law."
When chapter takes effect: see infra, § 71.

*The Conservation Law (L. 1911, ch. 647) by section 650 specifically
repealed L. 1909, ch. 56, §§ 1-26, which was the session law that enacted the

Section 30. Organization, powers and duties of state probation
commission.
31. Employees of state probation commission.
§ 30. Organization, powers and diities of state probation com-
mission. The state probation commission is continued. Such
commission shall exercise general supervision over the work of
probation officers throughout the state, and shall consist of seven
members, who shall serve without compensation as members of
such commission. The state board of charities, and the state
commission of prisons, shall, respectively, once each year, desig-
nate a member of their respective bodies, to act as members of the
state probation commission; and the commissioner of education
shall be, ex officio, a member thereof. As the terms of the ap-
pointive members, first appointed by the governor, shall expire,
their successors shall be appointed by the governor within thirty
days thereafter for a term of four years each. All vacancies oc-
curring among appointive members, from whatsoever cause, shall
be filled as soon as practicable thereafter by the governor for the
unexpired term. Any appointive member may be removed by the
governor for cause and after an opportunity to be heard before
the governor. The state commission shall meet at stated times
to be fixed by such commission, not less often than once every two
months. It shall collect and publish statistical and other informa-
tion, ^and make recommendations, as to the operations of the pro-
bation system. It shall keep itself informed as to the work of all
probation officers, and shall from time to time inquire into their
conduct and efficiency. ^It may require reports from probation
officers on blanks furnished by the commission. ^It shall each
year inform all magistrates and probation officers of any legisla-
tion directly affecting probation and shall each year publish a
list of all probation officers in the state. It shall endeavor, by
such means as may seem to it most suitable, to secure the effective
application of the probation system and enforcement of the pro-
The report of the Boasd of Statutory Consolidation (1907, page 5166, has
the following note relating to this article: "The state probation commission
was created by L. 1907, Ch. 4^, with general supervision over the work of
probation oflScers throughout the state. The Code of Criminal Procedure,
section 11a, provides for the appointment of probation oflScers by courts
having jurisdiction of criminal actions and defines the powers and duties of
such oflScers. Sections 483 and 487 of the Code of Criminal Procedure provide
when the court may place a convicted defendant on probation. The Criminal
Code, being a procedure act, would be an improper classification for the act
creating the State Probation Commission. The provisions of law relating to
the State Probation Commission are therefore consolidated in this chapter as
the only other classification."

port to the legislature showing its proceedings under this article
and the results of the probation system as administered in the
various localities in the state, with any suggestions or recom-
mendations it may consider wise for the more effectual accom-
plishment of the general purposes of this article. Said commis-
sion in the discharge of its duties shall have access to all offices
and records of probation officers, but this section shall not be con-
strued as giving said commission access to the records of any
society for the prevention of cruelty to children or humane society.
The state commission may direct an investigation by a committee
of one or more of its members of the work of any probation officer
and for this purpose, the member or members designated to make

and to exercise the same powers in respect to such proceeding as
belong to referees appointed by the supreme court.
