hard things lust now about the bills incurred by
the officials of Queens County in connection with
the recent elections and the methods employed in
giving out contracts for election work \ bill of
s. 400 for printing 10000 ballots forms the basis
of the complaints on the part Of the people. This

work OF printing the ballots and made an arrange
ment with several publishing firms to print them

bill. Joseph Oppenhelmer. publisher OF weekly
newspaper at College Point protested against the
auditing Of It on the ground that the price con-
tracted for was exorbitant While Oppennelner
was arguing in behalf of his protest, It came out
that one bid had been presented 10 the queens
County officials for doing the work OF printing the
ballots at $3.50 a thousand This bid as was SUISSE
oUently shown was made by the Ireland publishing
Company OF Floral Park, which IS largely owned
by State Senator John Lewis Childs.
Francis H. Van Veil ten, counsel for County
Clerk su,thln, admitted that this bid had been
received but he sad that the county clerk De-
lieyei the bid was a mistake as he thought thdt
the paper alone could not be purchasel Ior tnat
