Mr. VINToN of Cumberland, from the Jul
dietary Committee, to which was referred the
order of the Legislature, requesting them to
inquire into the contract on State printing,
reported that it was the opinion of the commit
tee that the subject matter of said order did

understand how the engrossing could be taken
out of the hands of the Secretary of State bv
| the resolve of 1866. when the manner of en-
crossing was changed from writing to print
| ing. And if there was nothing said in the
contract about it how the engrossing was to

was not for them to pass upon an existing
contract. This question could be settled in
