The New Book Of Ordinances.

In the proceedings Of the city council it
will be perceived that THE ARGUS Con-
rANY's bill Of 81 1856, for paper, printing and
binding the book Of ordinances was allowed
at 81, l22-the finance committee making
statement in regard to estimates recent
ly procured from parties who would nowllike
to do job they know nobody can get. In
reply to this the council was informed by
one of the ARGUS COMPANY that we could
print the work as low or lower than any
proposition received, and would have done
SO if copy had been furnished as it should
have been; that the extra cost was not our
fault; that the city was notified that we
could not and would not pay workmen for
standing idle waiting for copy or proof un-
less we we're remunerated; aud that it
was not fair in the council to make us suf-
fer for the neglect of city officer whose
movements we could not control. In proof
of this the following letter was read, which
letter was delivered into the hands Of ex-
Mayor Bailey Davenport.on the day of its
date;

the city printers to print and bind 800

etc. A portion of the copy has been fur,
nished and printed but oft repeated and
continued delay on the part of the City
Attorney in furnishing copy induces your

take some action whereby they may be
supplied with copy with more regularity, to
the end that your order may be completed
without the unnecessary expense "hich
must follow on account OF the irequeht 10
