ANN ARBOR BOY TO CODIFY LAWS

Relating to Corporations in State of Indiana 

Judge T. E. Howard, of South Bend Is one of the Able Lawyers to Do This Work

The following taken from the Republican Indianapolis Journal will be of interest to many readers of the Argus, as one of the commission, Judge Howard, was a Washtenaw county boy:

"Governor Durbin announced last evening that he had appointed Judge M. A. Chipman, of Anderson, republican, and Judge T. E. Howard, of South Bend, democrat, on the commission for the compilation and codification of the Corporation laws of Indiana.

"Judge Howard has an enviable reputation as a lawyer and jurist, which j he has acquired during an extended practice in the St. Joseph County courts and as a judge of the supreme court of Indiana, in which capacity he served six years. In addition to this he has had considerable experience in law-making as he was a member of the state senate in 1887, 1889 and 1891, and during the last session ' he served he was the author of the present tax law of Indiana. It is generally conceded that the law stands verbatim as he wrote the original bill. Judge Howard has the reputation of being an indefatigable worker, and his appointment on the commission was generally commended last night by republicans and democrats alike."
