The old granny on the Union is again
bo.hering his soul about the ARGUS. This
time he complains that we charge too
much for printing the city's ADVERTISE
ments. 1t is needless to say that all ad-
vertisements are inserted per order of the
city clerk, and charged for according
to agreement with the city, and
at the same rates which have b een in
vogue for several years past. 1t is the
general custom to publish notices iuvits
ing bids for any work from the time it is
handed in until the expiration of the time
allowed for the receiving of proposals. If
the committee did not understand it so,
some objection would have been made to
the bill The ARGUS is not in the habit
of charging the city or any other patron
more than the contract price, and ii defies
the Union to prove that it has In this
connection, however, we beg leave to call
public attention to small notice the
Union published in 1884, for which it
charged over $40 more than any other
city paper, and the bill was allowed. How
is this for extravaganza? In the matter of
printing this year the Taxpayers will be
saved three -fourths of the amount ex>
pended in former years,
