STATE PRINTING REPORT.
A majority and a minority report were
handed in from the investigating COM
mittee appointed to look into the affairs
Of the State Printing Office.
The majority report is an extended one
and is along the lines of those OF the ex-
perts, accountants and printers already
printed in full in this paper. 1t is full
| and complete eXoneration of the office
from charges made against it. There is
only space at present for a concluding
paragraph containing the findings:

| Superintendent, is q practical printer

his charge. He has under him a corps

rarely to be found among public institu-
| tons. 1t is conducted in all respects
as a first-class private institution would
be.
The testimony taken has been very
