PREFACE AT the January Session, 1873, the General Assembly passed a resolution authorizing the Secretary of State to make an Index to the Schedules from the year 1862, to the close of the January Session, 1873; the same being in con- tinuation of the Indexes previously prepared by the Secretary. This work has been accomplished in the following pages. To facilitate the search for the acts of incorporation, the Secretary has pre- fixed to the General Index several tablesr in which are arranged the leading corporations, with location when fixed in the charter, the Session at which the act was passed and at which amendments thereto were made. On the next page will be found a tabular index of these classes of corporations. For the purpose of making it of greater usefulness, this portion of the Index is brought down to the close of the May Session, 1875. The General Index, like its predecessors, is alphabetically arranged in chronological order. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CLASSES OF CORPORATIONS: [tabulated.] PAGE Banks v. Institutions for Savings x. Insurance Companies xii. Railroad Corporations and Steamship and Navigation Companies xv. Cemeteries xxi. Charitable, Social and Mutual Benefit Societies, viz. :— Masonic xxii. Odd Fellows xxiii.
