THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

To the Editor: We beg to be allowed
space in your valuable paper to com
mcnt upon the plan proposed by the sub
committee Of the Printing committee in
regard To the State printing, to-wit to
elect n Public Printer by the Lcgisla-
ture, to whom the printing of the House
Journal and Supreme Court Reports
shall be let and to entrust the LETTING
Of contracts for the job printing to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Superin
tendent of which. or his chief clerk
shall be Il practical printer.
This plan entirely ignores our propo
sition which we made to the Joint Com
mittee, which was to do all the State
printing at 1G % per cent. less than thC
prices stated in the contract in 1888
which contract our opponents admitted
was the most favorable contract for
the State that was ever made.
If orr proposition should he accepted
ii would save to the State from SCOOP
to $4,000 per annum. We offered AMI
stand ready, if our proposition should be
accepted. TO execute a good and suff
cienf bond for the faithful performance
of the work, all of which shall be done
in North Carolina.
White the plan Of the committee con
templates n maximum price for the boo
printing. it leaves the prices Of job print
ing at large. and it is that class of print
ing that is the most costly TO the State
and most profitable to the printer. TIL
proposed bill leaves the letting of tina
work to the discretion of the Commits
sion of Labor Statistics, and opens the
door for favoritism and perhaps extrava
gance. 1t was the hammer of promised
reform and economy that carried on
party to victory in the late election, and
it is the duty OF our representatives L,
carry out their pledges 10 the people.
Our proposition will save money 10 tn
State-being, according to our competi-
tors, 16 2-3 per cent. more favorable to
the State than the most favorable con.
tract the State ever had.
Why does not the committee seek in
formation from other towns and cities
in regard to- printing? It would be val
liable and useful.
