-"Of a total of 242 public and private acts and resolutions which became laws, 148 (near two-thirds) were of private nature, and of 57 acts which passed both Houses, but failed for different reasons to become laws, 49 were private.

In permitting those exceptions the act is defective. There is no good reason why railroad companies may not, as well as others be remitted altogether to a general incorporation act."
