quently inquired of by his press breth-
rem as to the status of the Trammel
printing law. This law is chapter 142
in the acts of 1885, 1t is substitute for
section 4,219 of the code of 1892. 1t
provides that the board of supervisors,
after prescribed notice, shall let to the
lowest responsible bidder, contracts for
the purchase of record and blank books
and blanks used by county and district
officers; the local papers having the
right to bid separately on such parts OF
the work as could be done by them.
Section 8 provides that all bids shall
be confined to the newspaper offices,
Job printing establishments and bind
cries located in the State of Mississippi,
and owned and controlled by citizens
thereof, provided that the prices for
such work shall not exceed the prices
heretofore paid" etc.
Section 4 provided ''that boards of
supervisors failing to comply with the
requirements of the act, and officers
ordering from any company or firm ex-
cept the one having the county con-
tract, shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction be
fined by fine or Imprisonment, or both,
as provided In section 1925 OF ammo
tated code"
Section 8 of the act of 1896 was
amended by act of February IL, 1898,
being chapter IS of the acts of that ses-
sion, by striking out the clause restrict
ing competition to the State OF Missis-
sippi, the following being substituted:
s'Section 8. That the prices for said
work shall not exceed the prices here
tofore paid; and provided further, that
the boards of supervisors shall have the
power to reject any and all bids, and
re-advertise for new bids, no bids to be
considered or accepted unless accom-
panied by bond of at least $500 for
faithful performance, which may be
increased to 81, 900 by order Of the board
of supervisors.
The publishers of the State made no
objection to this amendment. With
rare exceptions, they get all county
printing that they are prepared to ex-
ecute. The law was not. further
amended in 1900. The only printing
legislation of that session related to
Stats printing.
