Attorney Prank Gould addressed the
board in opposition TO the resolution
awarding the contract for printing the
. delinquent tax list TO the Star for 2ss
cents per name. The attorney repre-
ssnted the Weekly Post which had bid
3 cents for the work. He argued
that the Star is not a newspaper. but a
contrary view was taken and expressed
by James H Barry, its proprietor.
Supervisor Booth said that the reso-
luton was introduced because the City
Attorney had filed an opinion that the
publication of the delinquent tax list
in the Star would ill all the require
ments Of the law and the Star was the
lowest bidder. The resolution giving
the contract TO the Star was lost by a
tie vote.
Supervisor Bent.s motion that the
contract be awarded TO the Weekly
Post was also lost by a vote of nine
ayes TO seven noes Further consider
