WHY THEIR BID WAS HIGH
Printing Companies Explain Reasons
for Prices Asked for State
Code Work.
To the Salt Lake Herald:

To the Salt Lake Herald:
In your issue of last Sunday you say, in
reference to the bids for printing the new
state code, that the Deseret News. the
TTibune-Reporter Printing company and
the Century Printing company had formed
a combine to print the code at an excess
i've price.
we do not seriously object to being
classed as high-priced, but we do object
to being placed before the public in the
wrong light.
The exact wording of our bid was:
Joint proposal for printing the Com
piled Laws of Utah, 1907 We the under
signed. jointly propose to print the Com
piled Laws of Utah, 1907, as per specifi-
cations furnished US for bid, for $3.50 per
page. We make this Joint proposal for
the reason that the individual firms here
by represented do not care to take the
risk, singly, in strict compliance with the
specifications furnished US for bid
Signed by the Deseret News. Tribune
Reporter Printing Co. and Century
If your reporter had taken the trouble
to Investigate he would have learned of
forfeiture clauses in the specifications I'M
der which no one of the joint bidders
would. alone. take the contract.
Paragraph 8 of the Specifications pro
VideS a penalty Of So q day for the first
for each days delay IN delivering the
work and paragraph 10 reads: THE con
tractor and his bondsmen viii not be re-
lleVed from responsibility for failure to
complete this contract within the time
limited by reason of the loss by fire OF
otherwise Of copy while in the possession
of the said contractor, OF of loss by fire
of any part Of the printed forms of the
statutes" etc.
We can protect our property and that
of our customers from boss by fire, but the
forfeiture penalty in case of fire is a more
serious matter. This penalty clause, to-
gether with the short time in which to
do the work. may possibly be the reason
more bids were not received.
The fact that another concern bid a
much lower price than we did is not proof
that our price was excessive
We are not only willing but anxious
that the contract be awarded TO the low
est bidder. The work Will at least be kept
at home, which was not the case ten
years ago, when the same Job WAS done in
the east, at a price considerably higher
than the present lowest figures. and at q
time when the work could easily have
been done at least so per cent cheaper
than it can he done for now.
