Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws to the Governor of Pennsylvania, 1907: William H. Staake, Chairman, Walter George Smith, C. La Rue Munson, Commissioners To His Excellency, the Honorable Samuel Pennypacker, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: The undersigned, the commissioners appointed by your Excellency, under the provisions of the Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, approved the 31st day of March, 1905, which act was, in a measure, supplemental to a prior act. of the 23d day of May, 1901, would respectfully report: Two of the Commissioners attended the Fifteenth Annual Conference of the Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, held at Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island, August 18, 19, 21 and 23, 1905. The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws is made up of Commissioners created by the different states, meeting in conference and organizing themselves into a national body for the better accomplishment of the work for which its members were appointed by the states. The Commissioners, usually three from each state, are appointed under the laws of the respective states creating them, usually for five years, with authority to confer with Commissioners of other states and recommend forms of bills or measures to bring about uniformity of laws in the execution and proof of deeds and wills, in the laws of bills and notes, marriage and divorce, and other subjects where such uniformity seems practicable and desirable. The officers of the National Conference consist of a President, Vice-President. Secretary, Treasurer and Assistant Secretary, elected annually. The time of this conference was largely taken up in the consideration of the Uniform Sales Act and of the Uniform Warehouse Receipts Act, hereinafter referred to in this report. A constitution and by-laws were adopted to supersede the rules of the conference heretofore in force. The conference heartily approved the action of the State of Pennsylvania, and of its Governor, the Hon. Samuel W. Pennypacker, in calling a convention of representatives from tin several states to meet in Washington. D. C., for the promotion of Uniform State Laws upon the subject of Divorce. As the work of this conference would be limited to the single subject of Divorce, much good to the general cause of uniformity of legislation was anticipated from an enlightened public opinion aroused by such a convention at the seat of government.
