 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR. STATE OF ARKANSAS. EXECUTIVE OFFICE, LITTLE ROCK. March 10. Mir. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of | 1t seems proper that I should call the attention of your honorable body to the necessity of taking some steps towards protecting the state against over charges 1 for printing, which occur with painful | frequency.
 Yesterday the board of contracts dis covered an over-charge of $36879 in one small bill of s6l2.l6, nearly two-thirds. I would recommend that the auditor 1 have an expert clerk, who shall be a sworn | officer, and that provision be made to have the states printing done in future at its own institute for the deat and dumb. This would save the state many thousands of dollars every year.
