TOUR committee further lind that said State
Printer has printed ard received compensation
Tor Two large volumes, Of TAB pages each. both
81 which contained the same matter; the only
uiHerence oeing ID the title page, one being en-.
ulled SENATE Documents, and the other
.1o"se documents. Your committee has not
oeen aoie 70 ma any law or precedent author
lzIng the printing OF said books We find in
the Senate Journal of the last General Assembly,
page 40, that resolution was adopted, provi- |
ding that no documents as an appendix to the |
Senate journal should be printed, except the |
report OF the Des Molnes River Commissioner, |
ana the report OF the committee TO investigate |
the affairs OF the Superintendent of Puolic In I
struction, ana other State officers, none OF |
which are printed in the books ABOVE referred !
10. It is also worthy of remark that the Census
Returns complete, comprising All pages, more
than one half OF said books, are printed in each
Of said books. although the General Assembly |
had provided by law for the printing and dis
OF said Returns in separate book.

Boye had the form set up, and had printed
said Census Reports as per contract before re-
ferred TO, that said State Printer procured them
Q work of. on paper furnished BY the State,
he Census Repore embraced in said books,
which would cost but small sum, as the form
vas aireacy set up, which was thereup0n bound
n said books, Tor which said State Printer
charged the State, and was allowed 10 cents
per 900 ems, although Crum & Boye set up
he form and printed the same for the State I'M
Ter contract at 40 cents per 900 ems) all Of
which was paid for. at the rates fixed by the
ormer law, as said State Printer did not pub.
ish The law reducing the rates of printing until
A!ter the aforesaid work was denel
Your committee find that said State Printer
eceived the sum Of S5,4S67O for printing the
wo books before referred to, for which we can 4
ind no authority of law. The printing has also
involved the State ia the expanse az nanar and
'inding. But even admitting that it was prom.
r to print the documents Of the General As
rhich should not have embraced III rensn,
Reports.
We are clearly of the opinion In Z the evasion
f the law BY said State Printer II nerlaetino
0 publish the same, the neglect 10 publish the
avs by the time prescribed by Law the nnh,;.
alton OF two books unauthorized hvla pndar
lerely different names embr,cing imnrnnsr
latter, are proper subjects for iuaie;ai i rae,;
alton. We therefore recommend the sann,;on ,
the following resolution:
