Sec. 27-78. Standards of State Guard. Within six months after the mustering out
of any regiment of the State Guard, the surviving late senior officer of such regiment
shall cause the regimental standards, both national and state, which belonged to such
regiment to be deposited in the former headquarters' armory of such regiment. When
such deposit is made, the officer in charge of such armory shall give his receipt for such
standards, and thereafter he and his successors shall be the custodians of such standards
and shall carefully keep and conspicuously display them in such armory in recognition
of the patriotic service of such regiment of the State Guard. Immediately upon receipt
of such regimental standards, the officer who has assumed the custody of them shall
apply to the Adjutant General for a repository for such standards, and the Adjutant
General, within six months after the receipt of such application, shall deliver to the
officer making such application, or to his successor, a glass-front, dust-proof repository,
so designed, constructed and inscribed as suitably to fulfill the purpose herein set forth.
All expense incurred in complying with the provisions of this section shall be borne by
the state.
