EXPENDITURES P0R PUBLIC PRINTING.
Senator Wolcott, Chairman Of the Senate Committee
Public Printing early in the session submitted 70 the
Senate report in which no brought 20 the attention Of
that body the unnecessary expenditures Tor pubic PRINT
ing which had character zed the legislation OF pre-
vious years. This report shows that While responsible
parties are under contract n do all the Legislative printing
Tor the SUN Of $50 900 annually for a OF year, the
sums annually expended have been greatly IN excess Of that
amount notwithstanding the contract This excess has
gradually increased, until last year. when the entire
smount paid for public printing was s2l4 Sl 81. VI this,
sl& Ots ls wa for Lsgdatre printing being an excess
OF t7 048 I9 what tho state obliged 10 pay by
the contract with the public printer.
In view ~ the fact and tho financial condition Of the
State Dir. WOcot recommended that the present Legs
laur without being governed by any psrsmonous and
niggaTdy policy should IN the matter Of Legislative or
authorize such expenditures the public interests de-
manded. The recommendations Of the Senator we're
unanimously eoncured in by the Senate and were most
cheerfully sssented 10, for the time being, in
the Lower House. Az Chairman Of the Committee
Mr. slcott has sweryed from the rule laid down
bic report. Every proposition for printing has been
carefully scrutnzed and the number Of copies ordered
reduced jast what the public interests have seemed TO
require. Probably by this course the expenses OF printing
ordered by the SENATE have been reduced eha and
many thousand dollars saved 10 the taxpayers Of the
State lis year. while the public has 70 sense been the
sufferer BY the rule adopted.
Mr. Wocot has earned the thanks OF the people Of this
State for having firmly resisted the pressure frequently
made upon him for reports favorable 70 printing schemes
in which parties were interested than the public
had the House Committee, had the House itself held
out az it commenced and co6perated with the Senate
vast would have been saved TO the State Instead
OF being last year. t27 600 the expense need not have
been $50 go.
II is but just 70 Mr. wolcotfs associates, Messrs.
Humphrey and Sutherland, to say that thoy have
daily supported bin have the Senators generally, as
shown b. the fact that in instance has the senate
failed 10 sanction tbe recommendations Of IT'S Committee.
