PRINTING Of THE
STATE JOURNALS
Board of Supplies Not Con
suited When Proposals
Were Asked
GOVERNOR LEA On THE subject

Notvithstanding the fact that there was
n bill passed at the recent session Of he
Legislature creating State Board OF
suppiies. To have charge of all such mat
TORS as awarding the contracts for State
nrtntine Clerk Thomas S. Lewis of the
House and CLERK Goslee of the Senate,
have advertised for bids for printing the
Journals Of the proceedings of the past
Legislature
1t Is the opinion of many persons that
the clerks have exceeded their authority
in A,sking for proposals. Under the new
law the state Board of Supplies consists
Of the Governor. Secretary Of state and
state Treasurer.
Governor Lea was seen this morning
but declined to make any statement on
the subject He said he had heard that
proposals for printing the journal were
asked for, but had not looked into the
matter.
Walter. H. Hayes. who drew up the bill
creating the Board of Supplies stated
that it was the business of the board
and not the clerks to advertise for pro-
posais and also award the contract for
printing the journals.
The advertisement for the proposals
was printed in the Dover State Sentinel
and the Georgetown Union Republican
on Saturdays March 25 and April l. There
were four advertisements, two over the
name OF each clerk. one of them asked
for proposals for the journal for th'
special session and the other for the regu.
lar session. They state that bids must be
in by Saturday. April s, at 3 o'clock
What action the new Board will take
in ibe matter is not known. The old Law
provided for the clerks to have the print
ing g5ne and it is under this law tha
CLERKS Lewis and Goslee are evidentl,
