The Gazette's charge for the Railroad
proclamation was $l9;50. The Eagles
charge was S2l:25 Taking out this
item and also the one for the Treasurer's
notice, in all S30:25, and we have left
S455. We now say that $3.50 would
cover the whole amount of printing, at
re eular rrices, and would be willing to
fisk it at $500, and yet not charge one
copper less than we are in the habit of
charging individuals, aud as they are
charged all over the State.
Take one item. We print ream of
bank checks or shipping bills, for $1,000,
or so cents per quire. live printed five
reams, at the same time, we could do It.,
with more profit. at 5000, or 80 cents per
quire. We believe that prices range, at
this mark in most places-in some pla-
ces lower. The Eagle prints some sew
en- reams, or one hundred and forty
unires, of Asse ssor's blanks, for which 1t
gets one dollar per quire, or $4,000. AT
$1,000 perream, it would only amount to
$1,000; at 5000 per reum, it would a
mount 10 $4,000. We contend that, in
this one item, there should be reduction
of some $4,000. We are not advised as
to the amount of Treasurer's blanks, but
in this item We are confident that re.
ducti on of$25:UO should be made. We
have not made an exact calculation, but
should the Assessors blanks BIZ charged
at fifty cents perthouSand for composition
aud fifty cents per token for press work
allowing literally for rule aud figure work
the charge would not exceed $4,000.
The Commissioners understand thi
matter now; they ought TO have under
stood il before. The Eagle, with its char
ges of falsehood, may yet understand tina
