GESTLEMEN:-The .petftion of Archibald Nc
Arthur, of Dodgeville, Wis, respectfully shows
To your HONORABLE body, that he Is OF the pro-
prietors OF the Dodgeville Sun. That said news
paper has circulation next to that OF the highest
newspaper printed in said county. That the re-
cent action of this board in determining that the
Chronicle, Mineral Point Democrat and Mineral
Point Tribune be paid the sum of twenty-five
dollars for publishing the proceedings of the
board, and that the Dods,ev'lle Sun be paid the
sum of twelve dollars ard fifty cents for publish
ing the same proceeding, is, as your petitioner
verify believes up.nst to him and preiudicial TO
his said newspaper. That although he believes
that the board did Dn Intentionally desire TO dis
parage or belittIe the said Dodgevle sun by their
said proceeding, still the effect of said resolution
is to accomplish that result. Your petitioner has
been informed that the occasion for such dis
CrImlDatlOD Was because salQ DOugeNllle sun ana
The Eve and Star was printed IN the same Office
and therefore could Ise the same type and not be
at the expense of resetting the same for each
paper. Your petitioner alleges and charges the
truth be, that it ha. been the custom for years
and now is. in this county, for one ONCE or news
paper to set the board proceedings in type and
then furnish copies printed from such type to all
the other papers. Your petitioner does not solicit
favoritsm, neither does IL relish injustice in

wholly to disregard one or more county papers,
but your petitioner res pectfully request that it
neither Intentionally nor otherwise discriminate
so as to disparage the property or business of
yoar petitioner or Others. Respectfully,
ARCHIBALD MACARTHUR.
