"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. Thus it appears that more than two-thirds of the legislation and I may say, of your valuable time, was at that session taken up (at great cost to the people of the State) in matters of purely personal or private character." | |||
