OFFICE OF EVENING JOURNAL,
Jersey CITY, July IL, 1872.
Honorable Board of Aldermen:
I, GENTLEMEN:-It is due to ourselves that
IN rendering the bill sent herewith for
advertising licerse applications, we should
make the following statement. Your
Honorable Body will recollect that some
weeks ago we offered to do that advertising
and, il necessary, to wait for our pay
until the decision of the certlorari pro-
ceedings taken to set aside your designa-
ton of the German paper to DO This
good faith. We desired to prevent
loss to the city Of the large
amount of the license money, and TO
avoid the uncertainty and confusion into
which all the liquor sellers OF the city
| would have been plunged. Now that the
Court has decided that the designation
TO the German paper was no such as was
contemplated by the law, we present our
bill for payment.
The law provides that we may charge
the sum of Soc. for zach name. each IN
s~ertion, amounting to 81. SO for hve lnser-
tons. The law further authorizes that a
charge be made of 900. for proof Of pub
LEGATION of each name. The total amount
that we are entitled to charge is 81 for
each application. So far 958 applications
have been published, tor which the law
authorizes us to charge the sum or $l,9l6.
There Is in force another law, passed at
the request Of he leading newspapers OF
the State. fixing the sum that may be
charged for any legal advertising at the
rate Of 100. per line for the first insertion
and &c. per line for each subsequent in
s~ertion. This is the highest price that we
or any paper in the State charges any
customer, except for special positions, as
for instance ON our fret page, where our
uniform rate is 10c. per line for each in
Sertion.
We are entirely Satisfied to do the adj
vertising of the city at the prices thus
fixed at our own request. and therefore
do not feel justified in making the
charges allowed by the law which autho-
rizes the cnarga for publication OF applt-
cations for licenses at more than three
times our regular rates.
The cost of these publications at u
own rates amounts to $4S2, for which sum
we render our bill and ask payment.
Very Respectfully,
JOSEPH A. DEAR,
Treasurer Evening journal Association.
