NOTE.—This Code of laws relating to the District of Columbia is the first District Code to include the old British and Maryland statutes of which no complete or accurate compilation was ever made, but which are still in force in the District by virtue of the acts of Feb. 27, 1801, and Mar. 3, 1901 (2 Stat. 103, ch. 15, sec. 2, and 31 Stat. 1189, respectively). An historical sketch of the laws relating to the District and the problems to be solved in this work of classifying and restating the District law is included herein. Under authority of the act of Mar. 2, 1929, cumulative supplements will be published with changes and additions to the District law as Congress modifies it. New editions of the District Code are provided for and if present ideas are realized, after the repeal of obsolete statutes and the harmonizing of discordant features by perfecting amendments, the whole body of the Code may be revised and the law stated in simple, precise language in an effort to approach an ideal of legislative expression.
The Code has been prepared under the direction of Committee on Revision of Laws, House of Representatives, by Edwin A. Mooers, Howard Boyd, and Harry A. Hegarty.
