of Court there was complaint on ac-
count of there not being enough Cal
endars; and moved to amend the report
by making the number of Calendars rs
instead of 60. The motion was second
ed.
Mr.. hartley said that he had been
talking to printer who was willing to
print 100 calendars for 500; and he of
fered an amendment to the amendment,
making the number of calendars 100, at
a cost not to exceed $40.
MIR. BEEBE said he thought it would
be better to simply increase the num-
Der to 100, without attempting to fix the
price, except to provide that the clerk
is not to have the price exceed fifty
cents piece.
Mr.. WILSON said there was lots OF
difference in printing. He knew that
the calendars heretofore printed for the
county, were the neatest and best he
had ever seen in the state, and were q
credit to the county, He said it was
false economy to cut down on prices,
and as a result secure poor work. He
knew that so cent apiece for these cal
endars was little enough for such work
as the county had heretofore secured.
MIR. CABANIs, Chairman of the Com
mittee, said that the $50 proposition had
been considered by the committee. He
thought it best to leave it as it is, as of
course it is the duty of the Clerk to look
out for the interests of the County.
The amendments were withdrawn
and, on motion of Mr.. Wilson, the re,
port was adopted.
MIR. EMERY, submitted the following
report:
