Containing all the Laws of a Permanent and General Nature Enacted PREFACE. This Supplement connects with volume 10 of Federal Statutes, Annotated. It embraces the general and permanent laws enacted by the Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth Congresses, and by the Special Session of the Sixty-first Congress, which adjourned August 5, 1909. It supplants the 1907 Supplement, all the Acts in that Supplement which are still in force being included in this volume. The scheme of titles in the main work has been followed, except where the new statutes required titles not before used. In order to avoid delay in bringing out the volume, the 1909 Tariff Act and the other laws passed at the Special Session are placed in an Appendix at the close. A chronological table of the Acts embraced in this Supplement, and a table of the sections of the Revised Statutes which have been expressly repealed, amended, or mentioned in such Acts, follow the table of titles at the beginning of this volume. |
