The members of the county printing
and stationery committee, consisting
of Messrs John L. Voelker, chairman,
G. T. Rowland, Frank Rourke, j. G.
Hoffman and Hugh Porter, were all
present at the court house on WedneS-
day except Mr.. Porter, to confer on
matters of printing for the county.
They invited the printers to call and
confer with them in reference to the
county printing. We called and found
the committee very social and DESTROYS
of doing their duty to the county yet
we do not believe they want to rob the
printers of their just deserts in doing
the county printing. The only
extravaganza shown by the county
board, if there is any, is in giving any
and all papers in the county 20 cents a
folio for printing the proceedings
This costs the county about 5000 year,
when they could select an official paper
and pay them much less. However we
would not advise this to be done, fol
we believe that the more the proceed
ingS Of the county board can be read by
the people of the county the better
Outside of this one item we don't
believe there can De found any extrava
gance in county printing unless the
legal rate provided by statute is Sc
regarded.
