this county has adopted in reference TO the book
supplies well other matters Is 10 pay for what
We get, allowing fair and reasonable profits on all
articles and exorbiiant profits on none. We do
not believe In any system which will allow one
article to be furnished 10 NJ at one fifth Of its cost
price because few uf them furnished, and other
articles % be charged double price because many
Of them are used. In instituting comparison be.
tween supplies furnished the city and county, u
slight difference in price between the two IN favor
Of the city might reasonably be expected for the
following reasons easily understood By all mer-
chants

supplies costing from SO O0u 60 S5N.OoO per an.
mum, whilst the county buys from 1000 10 Sll,.

Of being well packed aad boxed. for which he
