THE COUNTY PRINTING.
BY reference to the Commissioner
Proceedings elsewhere published it will
be seen that the ADVANCE has again
been designated as the official paper of
Mobiles county. Our bid was as follows:
In response to your call for bids on
county printing for the ensuing year,
submit the followin bids:
l. I will publish the Delinquent Tax
List in the Worthington ADVANCE
free, that is, without charge, and will
furnish copy OF the ADVANCE free,
said copy to be kept on file for the use
Of county officers.
1t is important that the county print
ing should be correctly done, as han
dreds OF dollars have been lost to the
county by incorrect and illegal print
ing in a former paper published in
Worthington, while neither the county
nor any individual has ever lost Il cent
by incorrect legal printing in the AD-
VANCE.
2. 1 will also publish the annual
statement free, or without charge.
3. I will publish the proceedings Of
the Board, notices of tax Judgment
sales, and other county advertising
necessary to be done under the law, on
the same terms, or without charge.
The Commissioners were compelled
under the law to give the printing to
the lowest bidder, and there is no doubt
that they are we'll pleased that the AD-
VANCE received it again. They had
been duly notified that the publisher of
an alleged newspaper, called the Record,
was not printer nor in any sense
legitimate Publisher; that he rents
press and type of Peter Thompson; that
only few weeks ago all the Thompson
& Day mortgage foreclosures in that
paper had been rendered illegal as to
publication by his ipefticiency and
laundering and had to be republished,
the day Of sale postponed and the par
ties renotified at an additional expense
of $50; and that if the printing were let
to such an adventurer, the county
would lose hundreds OF dollars.
The ADVANCE, of course, receives
no pay for county printing this year,
but We are used to it. We have done
so before and saved the county good
deal of money thereby. We will have
to work a little harder and economic
little more to make it up, but we are
used to that also.
