Michigan Laws Constitutional.

Lansing, Mich., Jan. 1. —A number of the acts of the last legislature which were passed more than five days before final adjournment were not signed by Governor Rich until after the legislature adjourned. These were attacked as unconstitutional, the claim being that the time in which the governor could sign such bill ended with the adjournment of the legislature. The Supreme court has decided that the right of the governor to sign bills within ten days after final adjournment applies to MDs of the class referred to and that all of them were constitutional, so far as this claim is concerned.
