HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Sections 81-131 of this chapter show the territorial composition
of districts and divisions by counties as of January 1, 1945. All
references to dates were omitted as unnecessary.
All references to fixed terms of holding court were also omitted
in order to vest in each district court a wider discretion and
greater flexibility in the disposition of its business. Such times
will now be determined by rule of court rather than by statute. See
sections 138 and 141 of this title.
