taken from the table.
Mr.. Ryder Of Penohsc lt-rhis bill in.
c!udes The State contracts for printing and
binding for the ensuing years, 1891 and
1892. At the beginning Of the session .
joint special committee was appointed to
receive contracts from different parties asd
submis them - the Legislature for their ap
provAi. or rather, to make contracts with
printers and binders. subject to ths ap-
p.ovsl Of the Legislature. We advertised
for bids. There we're three bids on print.
ing and two bids on binding, The matter
was carefully considered BY the committee
A longer time was taken TO investigate the
matter than has been taken for years; and
while the bids were somewhat lower, yet,
taking into consideration all the circum-
| stances connected with the business, hav-
ing in mind the necessity Of printing in the
city Of Augusta, not only during the ses-
sion of the Legislature bat during the year,
And also the necessity Of having = great
deal Of the binding done in the city, the
committee were unanimous in their opinion
and unanimously reported that the printing
be done by Burleigh & Flynt, and
the binding by Smith and Reed. The con-
.rac. for printing, will say 10 the same as
1t has been for the last ten years, since
1880 when it was reduced. The binding
contract is five per cent. lower than it has
been. There is clause in the contrac:
that makes . reduction Of ) per cent on
the binding; and the committee were
unanimously Of the opinion that both con-
tracts were advantageous; and that it was
for the best interests Of the State to allew
these parties to do the State printing aud
binding. The only thing that remains, for
the Senate to do at this tine, if the contracts
meet with is approval, is to sign them,
IS they have been signed by the printers
and binders and by the committee on the
part Of the Senate and House.
The question being put upon the ap.
proval of the contract with Burleigh &
Flynt, the consrsc. was approved by the
Senate.
The question being put upon the spprov-
al Of the contract with Smith Reed, the
contract was approved by the Senate.
