History: 1909, Act 283, Eff. Sept. 1, 1909 ;-- CL 1915, 4513 ;-- CL 1929, 4142 ;-- CL 1948, 235.4
Compiler's Notes: The provisions of chapter 4, referred to in this section, evidently derive from Act 254 of 1897, which was superseded by Act 316 of 1923. Act 316 of 1923 was in turn repealed by Act 247 of 1949, Act 40 of 1953, and Act 40 of 1956. See now MCL 280.1 et seq.
