Editor's note. This article codifies P.L. 1941, ch. 1103, as amended by P.L. 1945, ch. 1574, P.L. 1956, ch. 3647, P.L. 1957, ch. 133, and as amended in its entirety by P.L. 1958, ch. 138, § 1, and as thereafter amended. Because P.L. 1958, ch. 138, § 1 constitutes a complete revision of the 1941 act, as amended, the historical citations herein begin with P.L. 1958, ch. 138, § 1.
