The county printing and supplies for
the county officers in the way of
stationery and blanks, in Fall River
county, was let to the lowest bidder.
Several of the county papers put in a
bid, but the Herald man carried off the
prize, but stating that he would do the
work for ten per cent less than any
other paper, enumerating the different
kinds of work. He had a proviso in,
that it must include the delinquent
tax list. The bid, or proposition rather,
for that kind Of q "bid" has been
decided by the courts of different states
to be no bid, was accepted by the
board Of commissioners. Now unless
the treasurer is in the ring, that is the
rock on which the scheme will split,
for the reason the commissioners have
no control Of the tax list for publica-
ton. That goes where the treasurer
dictates. If the Herald man should
fail to'get it he could kick the whole
business over, and get. his price for the
work.-Bufalo Gap Republican.
