THE JOB PRINTING.

". '. FitISci diu. dHu tuic Has UCCh their only excuse for the bold rob- bery committed. Admitting that in advertising there is some little differ ence, it is more than made up by the difference paid to the Bulletin in other printing. Taking the figures and facts published below, the honors- ble(?) board cannot appear in any other light than that of having com- mitted wilful and ine1cusable steal, and with these same figures and facts the only foothold upon which they have rested their defense is complete ly swept away.
 Last week we called attention to the fact that the board were paying $9 per thousand for letter-heads which J. T. Fitzgerald had formerly printed and furnished for $7. This fact is substantiated by certified copies of the contract entered into between the board of supervisors and the Bulle- tin company and :he previous board and THE CLARION. For printing assessment blanks. poll-tax receipts. and work of like nature. the price paid Fitzgerald was the same as paid by the board of supervisors of Pima county. What the difference is may 1 plainly be seen by the one item of as- sessment blanks. For these, as folders. the Bulletin is paid $75 for the first thousand and $35 for the second, or $Il0 for two thousand. Fitzgerald's price, bound, was $6a. Consequent ly the excess paid by the present board to the Bulletin over that received by Fitzgerald from the previous board is 4S-quitc enough to even up to a great extent the difference in prices paid for advertising. We have not the figures here to show the difference in other items. but it is a logical conclu- sion that everything else is in propor- ton.
 To show that the printing steal had been contemplated for some time by the reform board we offer the follow ing facts:
 Along about the first of last Janu- uary THE CLARION. at that time the only paper in the county, received an order from Wm. Whelan, the sheriff. for office stationery. and had actually commenced the printing of the same. together with other job work needed by the new county officers. This fact coming to the ears of Solomon's clerk. Dysart. chairman of the board. the or der was countermandcd as follows:
 Solomonville Jan 9th S9.
 Mir J. T. FitzGerld: Please don't send that Bill for Stationary. I have been notify by the chairman of the Board not to rccive it.
 Respectfully.
 WM. WHEL,S.
 Two days later. under date of the 7th, . communication was received from Dysart countermanding the or der for all other stationery.
 The object is very plainly seen. The new board of supervisors. and especially Dysart. contemplated at that time the purchase of the old CLARION material. and had made over lures to Fitzgerald with that object in view. They did not propose to let anything get away from them. And here is where the reform comes i'm This reform board. Cutter, Dysart and Bailey. refused to let Fitzgerald print letter-heads at $7 per thousand, but held back two months for the pur- pose of giving the work to the Bulle- tin at $9 per thousand. And Cutter and Dysart were interested in the Bulletin through having subscrib- ed financially toward the amount rais- cd forthe purpose of establishing that paper at the county seat-at least SO VIC are informed and believe.
