Uncertain About House journal.
Inquiry at the office of the secretary OF
the State Printing board this afternoon in
dicated that there is considerable uncer-
tainty as to the date of the delivery of the
journal OF the house of representatives,
which is to be printed by T. E. Sedgwick
OF York. The contract provides that he
must pay penalty of l per cent a day
after sixty days have elapsed from the date
Of the delivery Of the last copy. This pro-
vision Is susceptible to a very elastic con-
struction, according to First Assistant
Clerk Barnard. since the index cannot be
completed until the entire volume is set
and proof read. and until the delivery of
the index the last copy on the house jour
nal will not be in the hands of the printer.
1t is pointed out that there is no certainty
as to the date of delivery under such a
contract, since the printer has 1t in his
power to delay the work of indexing to
suit his own convenience. According to the
terms Of the agreement the sixty days be-
gin to run forty-eight hours after the in
dex copy is turned over. Secretary Frazier
of the board has had no advices indicating
when he may expect to have the publica-
ton ready for distribution.
