THE CORPORATION ADVERTISING.
From the Sunday Despatch
After about SIX montas labor The present Com
mon Council succeeded in perfectng plan Dy
which to tnhghten The people as to what vas trans
piring III sno around the City Hall; or, IN other
words, to do the corporation advertising IN inc more
widely circulated OF the daily papers published in
cur city, instead Of combining it TO party organs
without circulation. 70 secure this publicity t. the
doings of the different departments into which our
city &c vernmers Is divided IL was to be expected
that II would cost something more than the city has
heretofore paid TO have this service performed. No
one suppose Loaf pspets having cuculstions rang.
ing from twenty to fifty thousand copies would al
veSse for the same am0u at of money that the sam
npnlber Of papers would, whose aggregate clrcula-
t::on was less than ha that Of the herald alone.
Still, as the corporation was 70 get increased setv
ces at such prizes IS must make the advertising
che aper in proportion To the Gil cuatOn given even
though she Amount Of money required would be
consiCer increased, the people very generally
approved Of TIE new pan, especially ss they we're
all 10 GEL an insight into the corporation proceed
ipgs.
From the report Of the Comptroller, made to the
Board Of Cuuncilmen last week. on tpiy subject,
the people are 70 be realized. Mr.. Fiagg, it ap
pears. has decided thst II paper with small cir;n
lsr,on is cheaper St 20 and halt mills pei lin.
for each thousand Of circulation, tbs1 one with q
large ,ircniasion az two mills per liue for each
thousand ccpiss circulated in the G. y! According
to shie rule, ii the Comptroller was in wans Of dry
&c ods and could make good use OF q hundred yards
OF muslin, be would, nevertheless. bay from maa
who offered to sell him ten yards AZ sixsesn cents
. yard, in preference to patronizing rival who
offered him one bundled yards At ten cents yard,
because The first offer only required 81 90 in cash.
while the later would cost $40 90. This illustra-
tration OF our worthy Comptroller'a inanciering
and economy, rs shown in the advertising business,
is not very creditable TO his reputation. He will say
SO hinst wien he comes to look At his report "a II
Sppesrs In PRINT.
Besides bis plumbers in this respect. il also 40.
pea,s from his report that he selected two German
papers. One Of them, the Nnc York De1,0krat,
Claims city circulation Of 1000 copies, and offars
20 do the work at tao and ahalf mills per line for
eah thousand Of IFS rity circulation, and Is selected
while ,he New YORK HERALD. . paper printed II,
verriss nneys two mi Is per lire for every shon-
srd Of its city circu alton, and IL rejected. Why
Bscause the HERALD hiss 900 circulation, and Its
bill will amount &c more A. two mills line than the
1000 Of the German pepper as tw0and a-half mills
This is carrying out she object If the resolution OF
the Common Council with y vengeance. Instead Of
benehtting and enligkxning the people, We are to
pay the city "a money for Keeping them in he dark
TO offer q premium to f0 elgners to remain aS An
leo atcd class among instead Of leaning oar an
eusge and becoming part and parcel III this grea'
American Republican Empire. Whatever Mr.. Fla !,
nny bavs cone in otoeT respects, 1--WE must give
n,m the credit or doing many good things), we
must take exceptions to his way OF awarding lac
Advertising contrac. Of the corporation. He has
svioen,y lost himself in the subject, and We hope
the Common Council will send tie matter back "a
him wi h directions to readvertise, and see If he
fannot DO q little better n 1t time.
