*While the title of the act of 1917. chapter 15, states that it is an act to add
nine additional sections to article 27, it also states that such additional sections
are to be known as sections 629A to 629J, inclusive. The enacting clause of
chapter 15, however, repeats the reference to nine additional sections, but omits
any reference to section 629J.
