BOARD DEMANDS
PROMPT DELIVERY
Makes Startling Announcement
That City Printing Must Be
Done on Time.
WILL CORRECT OLD ABUSE
Volume of Ordinances Ordered
Last September Not
Yet Ready.

In advertising for proposals TO DO
city printing during the current year
the Administrative Board inserts the
startling and almost revolutionary an
nouncement that il will adhere to the
city ordinance requiring certain grades
of printing 10 be delivered on contract
time. More honored in the breach
than in the performance. the ordinance
has long been "A dead letter and the
delivery of city printing matter that
suited the convenience of the printer,
regardless OF the needs of the city.
The advertisement inserted by clerk
W. w. Dunford in accordance with the
boards instructions states that sealed
proposals for furnishing the city with
stationery, printing, binding and ad-
vertising for the remainder of the year
will be received by the Administrative
Board until 10 o'clock A. NJ. Friday,
January 81. when the bids will be
opened After telling where 10 get
blank forms on which TO bid. and about
the requirements OF certified checks
and giving bond, the advertisement
contains this startling clause An or
dinance of the city, approved February
10. 1906, provides that the annual reports
of the various heads OF departments
shall be printed and bound within
sixty DAYS from the time copy for
same is placed in the hands of the
printer A rigid adherence to this ordi-
nance will be enforced, and a provision

A Novel Idea.


That the idea Of requiring city print
ing to be delivered in any reasona bic
time is absolutely novel may be shown
by the fact that the bound volume
of annual reports for 1910 were not de-
livered until department chiefs were
working on their statistical tables FOR
the following year. by the fact that a
volume of City Attorneys opinions,
ordered printed nearly year ago. is not
out yet. and by the fact that the BIZ
ennial volume of ordinances and reso-
IutiOns of the City Council ordered
printed last September. has not only
not been delivered. but the page
proofs have not yet been delivered 70
CITY Clerk August. so that he can make
the proper index. The volume covers the
work of the City Council for two years.
and will be the first volume of ordin-
ances and resolutions supplementary to
the City Code Of 1910. and for that reason
it's publication is eagerly awaited
Clyde w. Saunders. who holds the
present city contract Is not the only one
who has delayed city printing: in
fact. his general service, especially on
small work has been far more prompt
than that of his predecessor II was
because of the utter uselessnees Of
attempting to get printing delivered dur
ing the term of that contract that the
Board Of Health abandoned its prac-
health conditions The bulletins usually
came out a month or two late. after
they were of no value to physicians or
others save for historical purposes.
Took a Year to Get Code Out.
When the city went outside Of it's
general contract it took it a year TO
get it's code printed and bound. the
volume having been amended in nearly
every chapter before 1t was availa bic
for use. During the period of former
contracts for city printing, City At
torney Pollard has again and again
complained that he has been positively
Jured by his having 10 go into court
with muddy and badly printed briefs
and trials have been delayed until it
suited the printer to deliver such
work. Few. If any. of the annual re-
ports which go to the Mayor carly in
February have usually been delivered
bv the printer until late in the summer.
II IL SEATED that this is not altogether
the fault of the printer. some depart
ment chiefs having submitted dummy"
reports and later amplifed and cor
rccted their fluctuations before they
were printed.
II is understood that the Administra-
tive Board means to go thoroughly into
the matter of city printing. and to
require that all work be delivered. even
if the cost is somewhat higher. In the
case of the annual reports. department
heads will be required to make up such
reports i'm duplicate. so that ii copy can
be furnished the printer as soon as the
report is officially completed and fled

The Tacoma Tigers and the

are scrapping over third place
honors, meet here today. 1t Is the
first appearance of the Indians
here this season. They have not
been going we'll of late and the
Bengals are expected to get at
least an even break. Thanks to
their shutout of the Bees yes
terday, McGinnity's men have
pretty good grip on third place.
The game yesterday might
have been aptly entitled: "A
Pitcher Scorned; or Izzy Kauf-

pensed with Kaufmans services
early in the season for some UNI
known reason, and the tall and
slender heaviest made Mike Lynch
sweat blood for 1t. The final
score was 4 to 0. 1t was some
revenge, all right.
The third stanza was a large

trial by the Tigers. Burrell play
