City Printing.

BY reference to the previous bills
from the editor Of the Pioneer, W e
find that the one alluded to by us
two weeks since, is but sample of
others. In his bill dated Feb. "a,
last, we find that on the 10Th of
Dec, 1872, he charged the city for
publishing twenty-four folios of
Council proceedings, and twelve
folios was all that was printed on
that date. On the ID of Jam, 1873,
he charged for thirteen folios, and
published six only. But it seems
by the next charge, Jan. %, he knew
what was right and just, or else he
Numbered onto charging for six
teen folios, just the amount pub
lished. We cheerfully give him
credit for making at least one cor
rect charge, still we are under the
impression that it was ON oversight
on his part. On the Both of Jan.
he must have made another mis-
take, as he charged for only one
folio more than he printed, the
charge being eighteen, when it
should have been seventeen. But
in the next charge, that of Feb. G.,
he starts out again with a charge of
eleven folios, and he was entitled to
eight. Feb. 13, the charge is of
the same stamp, only more so, be-
ing for twelve folios, and we fail to
find more than eight. March g.,
he makes, another advance,
and charges the city with nineteen
folios of Council proceedings, while
his columns show that eight folios
covers the amount of the proceed
ings published in that issue.
1t will be seen that the city has,
according to these charges, been
paying the city printer for some
thing which they never had, an(
that the editor of the Pioneer
