OF THE West Virginia LEGISLATIVE HAND BOOK and MANUAL
1921
COMPILED AND EDITED BY JOHN T. HARRIS CLERK OF THE SENATE
TRIBUNE PRINTING COMPANY Charleston, West Virginia COPYRIGHT BY JOHN T. HARRIS 1921 ~ INTRODUCTION. The adoption by the Legislature of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 7, at the regular session of 1921, effected a change in the plan of publishing the Hand Book by providing for the issuing of the Official Register Di vision in the off year and of the main, illustrated edition as early as practicable in the year following. The matter contained in this volume-pertaining to the State govern ment and to the several counties-has been carefully revised, and much new matter added. One of the most important features is included be tween pages 276 and 286, showing the number of inhabitants of the State, -by counties and minor civil divisions-in 1900, 1910, and 1920, as re ported by the United States Bureau of the Census. The joint rules of the two houses of the Legislature and the rules of the Senate and House of Delegates-as amended at the extraordinary ses sion of May, 1921-appear herein. followed by a carefully prepared synop sis of the laws enacte-d at the two sessions. Tables showing the result s of the general election of 1920 are official, and the lists of political committees and municipal officers have been fully revised. The alphabetical list of post offices has been corrected to July 1st, 1921. JOHN T. HARRIS.
