The Cornell Law Ouarterly Volume III NOVEMBER, 1917 Number 1 The Proposed Uniform Conditional Sales Act BY GEORGE GLEASON BOGERT' History of the Act In August, r9i:, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws referred to its Committee on Commercial Law the drafting of a uniform act on the subject of conditional sales. In February, i916, this committee employed the writer to draft such an act. In May, i916, a tentative draft of the statute was submitted to the committee at Philadelphia and in August, x916, this first draft was submitted to the conference at Chicago and was debated section by section. Numerous changes were then made and the act was recommitted to the Committee on Commercial Law for redrafting. During the Winter of 1916-i7 and the Spring of x917 the statute was revised by the committee and draftsman after consultations with a number of business men who have had much experience with conditional sales.
