The report of the committee on
printing was presented and upon mo-
ton of Mr.. Hartman the report was
adopted.
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of Grant County:
Gentlemen: We, your committee on
printing, beg leave to report. We called
and we find there is before them all
bills for printing for the past year, and
said committee is now acting upon
them. From information received from
are quite regular. We would recon-
mend, however, that each printer be
required to attach a sample of each
job of work and that he mark his pric-
es thereon so that the committee act
ing on such bills can have the OppOr-
tunity to intelligently compare prices.
We would also recommend that cleo
ton notices, also notices of delinquent
tax list, be published in four papers
within the county, the selection of
which shall be in the discretion of the
county clerk, but shall be according to
law. We recommend that the county
clerk be appointed the purchasing
agent for all supplies. both printing
matter and other necessaries needed
for the several Offices in the court
house, as also the Jail and sheriff's res
idence. That each county officer, when
he has any printing which the county
is required to have printed for him,
Sh all present to the county clerk a
sample of the desired printing to have
done and the county clerk shall have
full charge of such printing matter, ex-
cept that printing for the circuit court.
Any county officer who gives print
ing to any printing office, or purchas-
es any supplies without doing as recon-
mended herein shall be held personally
liable for the amount of the bill.
We recommend that the clerk dis
tribute the printing among the print
ing offices within the county in as fair
a proportion as it is possible for him to
do, and as his judgment will permit.
We recommend that the county clerk
be paid for his services as such pur-
chasing agent the sum of Fifty Dol
lars ($50.00) per annum.
Dated this 14th day of Nov 1912
Respectfully submitted,
