The printing of Session Laws shall be done under contract made by the Secretary of State, and in accordance with specifications furnished by said Secretary. The Secretary of State shall then have Eight Hundred (800) copies bound with a general index, and he shall distribute the same as follows: Fifty (50) copies to the Prothonotary of New Castle County, Twenty (20) copies to the Prothonotary of Kent County, and Twenty (20) copies to the Prothonotary of Sussex County; One (1) copy to the Executive, One (1) copy to each State Officer, One (1) copy to each County Officer of the respective Counties; One (1) copy to the Library of Congress, One (1) copy to the State Library of each of the United States, and the residue to the State Library of this State for the Librarian to distribute, who shall charge the respective Prothonotaries for each volume of the Session Laws a price equal to the actual cost to the State for printing the same. At the end of one year after the delivery of such copies to the respective Prothonotaries, they shall return all unsold copies, and shall be credited therefor the amount which they have been charged for same, and such returned copies shall be delivered to the State Librarian.
