LEGAL ADVERTISING.
BY Col. Shannon
Res >lved that the act of the Legislature Of
1876 fixing the com pehsatiOn for publishing
legal advertiSeme at 81 80 per one hun
dred words for first insertion an 90 cents per
hundred for each subsequent Insertion, Is I'M
just to the publisher aud is not Il fair COM
pensation for the publication of such adver-
tisements.
Resolved, That if any rate of compensa-
ton is fixed by law, it should not be less
than 81 80 per hundred words for the first
insertion and 81 90 per hundred for each
subsequent insertion, or 81 90 per square
for the first insertion and 40 cents per square
for each subsequent insertion.
Resolved, That justice to the people and
press requires that the present law in rela
ton to the advertisements of Insurance
Companies, should be repealed and law
passed similar to that in the Code of 1857,
requiring that each company doing business
in the State should publish a statement
of the condition OF said company in
newspaper, provided one Is published in
any county in the State in which the COM
pany Iransacts business and that provision
should be made by law for publication of
proceedings of Boards of Supervisors and
Mayor and Aldermen of incorporated cities
and towns.
Resolved, That we regard the compensa-
ton for publishing tax sales as now pro-
vided by law as wholly inadequate and most
unjust to the press. That 10 cents for each
subdivision as now allowed by law should be
repealed and tax sales published at the same
rates other legal advertisements, or in
creased to q cents for publishing each le-
gal subdivision.
