The supreme court reporter shall, as soon as practicable, after the decisions of the supreme court are announced, furnish and deliver to the person or corporation having the contract with the state for publishing the same, copies of such decisions, with a syllabus and brief statement of the case, and a proper index and digest of such decisions to be published in and as part of such volumes. Each of said volumes shall contain not less than 700 pages, unless printed on thin paper as provided for in section 10 of this act, to be electrotyped, printed and bound in a good and substantial manner and form, of good material for law books, and printed in not larger type, set in the same manner, and of the same style and quality as volume 234 of the Michigan reports in the state library at Lansing, and to be approved and accepted by the justices of the supreme court, or a majority of them.

The original electrotyped plates shall be at all times the property of this state, subject to the right of such contractor to use the same during the term of his contract or until the same shall be declared forfeited as herein provided.
