forward to other emergencies that might arise. It
would be mat important to have notices printed and

Th. Outman said the bontreet for petting was
made by the Court of Quarter 601160€16. If part of
the printing were taken away from the oentraotor,
he could justly complain that the °outrun entered

the contract expired, however, it would be well for

considered. At the Clerk of the Peace had joady

would be worse than it was now. No part of the
county printing could now be withdrawn from the
