All meetings will commence at 9.30 a. m. unless otherwise noted. Hearings on free list, administrative and miscellaneous provisions will be conducted before full committee at the conclusion of the subcommittee hearings. Stenographic reports were taken of all testimony presented to the committee. By direction of the committee all witnesses who appeared after the conclusion of the hearings on valuation were to be sworn. The testimony presented, together with the briefs and other exhibits submitted, is grouped together as far as practicable in the numerical order of the House bill, which has made necessary the abandoning of the sequence of the statements and the order of appearance. In this consolidated volume, which includes briefs and data filed since the publication of the original print, the arrangement of the testimony has largely been preserved, while the new matter has been arranged by paragraphs in the supplement at the end. The index has necessarily been revised to include this new matter. ISAAC M. STEWART, Clerk. III |
