STATE RAILROAD COMMISSIONS AND
STATE RAILROAD STATUTES.
TABLE 1.-TITLES OF CODES AND STATUTES, AND GENERAL CHARACTERIZATION OF LAWS.
Table I is in the nature of a key to all subsequent tables. It submits, first, a general characterization of the regulations of railways undertaken by each State. In it is also found a statement of the particular compilation of statutes or laws to which reference by sections, chapters, or pages is made in subsequent tables. These references not only give the authority for the statements found throughout the report, but serve as an index to the particular statutes now in force, thus enabling anyone who may so desire to refer easily to the details of a statute relative to any particular phase of railway legislation in any particular State.
