| The Cresco PLAIN DEALER, with
great propriety, questions why Its
city authorities do not require that
bids be made "for coal, cement work,
street work, extension of the city
mains, purchase of material and appli
ances for the fire department., an6
other things for which dollars ART
spent by the city where the printers

is made adverse to the newspapers ir
the matter of city printing. 1t used
to be sc in Decorah, but wiser course
prevails and all publications required
by law are now given to the three
papers at an equal division of one
