Watching Printing tsupplies-New
Bonds From the Banks.
At yesterdays meeting of the board
| Of county commissioners two resolutions
were approved which provide that no
county official shall make any arrange
mentS to procure stationery or printing
matter without securing them through
the committee on printing and supplies,
and that bids will be received fort
nightly for such supplies hereafter in
stead of letting the contract to city
printer for year. Even the court cal
endars will be let to contract
by the piece. The several county
officials are required to fur
nish the committee on printing
on the first and third Mondays Of each
month lists of supplies needed. These
lists, together with samples of what is
needed, are to remain in the county
auditors office for four days, subject 20
the inspection of those who desire to
bid thereon. The committee shall at
the end of four days let the contracts
for supplies TO the lowest bidders. This
is supposed to be III; the interest Of
economy, and takes effect at once. as
the expert printer recommended after
stating that the old contract for a years
supplies had expired July q. Commits
toner DAILY opposed the short-term bid
ding plan, but he was the only one vOt-
ing against the resolutions.
