Tallahassee, April 2S.-In the SEN
| ate today a communication was re-
| ceived from the secretary of state
| transmitting the veto message of Gov
ernor BrOward in connection with the
public printing bill passed at the last
session. The message of the gov
eTnOr was read.
Senator Harris spoke in favor of
overruling the veto of the governor.
| He referred to conditions alleged to
| have existed in the past in regard to
the Capital City Publishing Company
and stated that the bill was designed
to eliminate certain conditions which
were said to have then existed. He
held that the present law and the
| $25, 900 certified check required of
| bidders enables the Tallahassee com
pany to maintain a monopoly as no
other printers in the state can put up
the amount. He asserted his belief
that the state is now paying 100 per
cent more than it should for the
public printing.
Senator HUMPHREYS, of the public
printing committee. which recon-
mende in it's report that the veto be
sustained, agreed with Mr.. Harris in
| many of the points advanced.
He stated, however, that when he
came to consider the bill and the veto
he found thzt1pe gap had been left
open so that hrHEs from all over the
country could come IN. He expressed
the belief that the senate would pass
new and better bill
