decisions Upon state Contracts.

From the Lansing Republican. III DFyQI
The board of state auditors. after TAX
| ing the two weeks permitted by law for
examining and determining the prOpOS-
ais for state contracts, have formally
awarded the printing for 1SS0-Sl to w.
s. George q Co. The prices on the prin-
cipal classes of work are 40 cents per
thousand ems for composition on laws;
38 cents On journals, documents, reports,
etc.; 20 cents on bills and resolutions; 10
cents on official journals; correcting al
terations, 80 cents per hour; printing
envelopes 10 cents per 1000; briefs S5
cents per page; presswOrk per form, 30
cents per token for FIVE tokens or less.
and 26 cents for more than five tokens.
There were 13 other bids, and the prices
are reduced to conform to the times. Bgl
The contract for binding was, also
awarded, to w. S. George q Co., at 20 to
25 cents per volume for cloth or half
sheep, according to size: So to So cents
forfull sheep; 80 to 70 cents per 100 for
pamphlet work; 81 per volume for mag
azines or reminding old +, books. There
We're eight other bids for binding, and
the prices are also reduced te.confOrm to
the tmeS.g8 hgG GsnfIsD &c bEB AluT
For print and book paper the contract
was awarded to the, Peninsular paper
company of Ypsilanti at 81 cents for
news print and 6115 al cents for book,
being reduction from previous prices.
AT the close of 1881 the state printing
and binding will have been performed
for 13 years by the same, firm, and the
book and print paper will have been sup
piled to the state for eight years by the
same company. 1t is one element of '.re-
sponsibility in, bidders that they are
Known to be engaged in the business for
which they bid, that their resources and
experiencelare ample and that they have
dealt honorably with the state in past
ALI the bids for stationery were reject
ed by the bOard.q They f0undaa general
in prices above the present con-
tract, whereas the reduced bids on print
and book paper manufactured from sim
liar stock with writing paper prepared
them to expect at least as low prices as
are now paid for fiat or writing papers, |
instead Of which the lowest bid sh0Wsan |
advance Of about 25 per cent. 1t is prob
able that the secretary Of state will re-
advertise for proposals to supply station |
cry; and as the existing, contract does |
not terminate until December 81 next, |
there is abundant time to secure such
as may be satisfactorily o; "A
