A few days ago. the City Clerk
submitted to the publishers of the
town papers, under instruction from
The Council. n proposition for bids
10 print ordinances at specified
sum per thousand ems and the de-
linquent list at a given price pei
square. The Transcript and the
STANDARD submitted bids in good
faith and in strict accordance Will
tho proposal. but the COurier's bid
was (purposely, we believe, made
indefinite. and not on the basis o.
the clerks communication, but fully
100 per cent. higher than the STAN
DARDs bid. This was made The pre-
text for ignoring oil the proposition,
and soliciting new bids. If this i.
in accord with justice, we fail to see
it.
