The Senate reasSembling, Mr. Farm
worth submitted the following report
The undersigned a minority OF the Com
mttee on Printing, to whom was referred
the communication OF the Clerk OF the
Senate, asking for instruction as to certain
charges OF the Public Printer. find ourselves
unable to fully agree with the report of the
majority.
The committee had before it a number
of the most experienced and expert print
err in the State, and in our opinion the tcs.
timony Of these printers unanimously sus-
taiued the bills ~ which the clerk Of the
Senate objected. There was practically no
difference of opinion among the witnesses
examined. Mr.. Frew, Mr.. Bullard Mr..
Ewing. Mr. Stull, Mr. Long and Mr.. Car
roll are known all over the State as old and
skilliul practical printers. some Of them
having been forty wears in the business.
We are wiling to submit to
their iudgInent. any question rel
atiye To printing and the Cust0uH Of the
craft. and they all agreed that that the
charges ..objected 10 were precisely what
they would have made under the law. and
the contract uf the Public Printer.
We therefore offer the following rcsolu-
ton
Resol,cj. That the Clerk OF the senate By
and i hereby instructed TO pass for
| payment the several items OF the Public
Printers account. heretofore objected to by
him. WV. ENIN,
