not always the lowest priced work that is
the cheapest or best. Especially in legal
printing should the paper published in the
locality with the largest circulation TO have
it. The Banner says:
In almost every city in Texss where there
10 more than one d,ily psper printed, the city
printing 10 q bone Of contention; San
Antonio has three daily pspers-the Ex.
press, Light and Times. The Express IL the
beat paper In San Antonio, sn ! 10 the leading
paper Of iu section Of toe state; 1t has an
established reputation and large circulAtio
among the best citizens IN this CITY
and neighborins towns. All three Of thu
papers bid on the printing; the Times bid
was the lowest but Its circulation 10 smaller
than either Of the other two papers. The
bids Of the Express and Light Was about the
same and the council taking business view
Of the matter awarded the printing to the
Express, considering II 70 be the lowest and
beat bidder. Had tho lowest bid simply
been considered the printing would have
been awarded 10 the Times. II there be q
necessity for publishing ordinances and
resolutions they are certainly advertised fol
general Information, and the paper having
the largest circulation and best reputation Il
undoubtedly the one in which TO do the
advertising, provided the price charged be
reasonable.
