The Courier News wastes a great
deal of valuable print paper in rldl-
culing the saving effected to the state
by the newly installed officials in con-
Guiding a modification of the bond
sale contract which the late admins
tration put through during their last
moments in office. Aside from large
amounts saved, which we are unable
to calculate at this time, there IS a
small item Of some $4,000 bond sale
commissions which have been saved
to the taxpayers through this action.
We merely mention this small
amount as it is within the compre-
hension of the Courier News, and we
would suggest that said Courier News
as the largest recipient OF charity IN
the state, should not cast asperslons
on the amount. The taxpayers are
not.
