WOODBRIDGE, March %
Who's who in the newspaper field in
! woodbridge bids fair to turn white
| the hair of. editors and create an
| ugly disposition in the printers
| devil" before this question of ques-
lions is settled. TIE power that has
| upset the Park Row or Printing
House Square of Woodbridge, is
none other than Committeeman JOS
eph Gill, who, at a recent meeting,
! declared there should be a fair dis
tribution Of printing between the
/! various organs published in the
township. In other words, there's q
| journalistic battle royal in the
township.
The question which is going to
turn, the hair of editors gray and
those who have gray hair already
will probably become bald, is that
/ concerning the legal right of the
| papers to print the advertisements
which Mr.. Gill says should be dis
tributed among them. Among the
| things which Mr.. Gill would have
| distributed, is the publishing OF or
| dinances and other legal advertising
and job printing. .
The suggestion Of Mr.. Gill a Its
| drawback, though, and these re-
volye about the fact as to whetheT
or not some of the papers have beer
established long enough to obtain a
share of the printing. For instance
= is declared that the woodbridge
township Bulletin, formerly the
| Avenel Bulletin, has not been es-
tabIished long enough to get the
| printing, and it is alleged that the
Woodbridge Leader is also In thls
| class, as it is declared the law holds
| that the papers must be printed in
the township, and tho Leader, 1t is
claimed, is printed by an outside
firm.
Others say that the Leader has
had an office in Woodbridge for
many years and has published a
paper for a long while. 1t is also
said that the Leader has already re-
ceived some legal advertising.
The Woodbridge Independent
publishers appear tc be sitting
pretty" at the present time, but are
binding the competition keen.
Although Mr.. Gill may have
thrown a little sunshine in the camp
of the publishers by his suggestion
that the advertisements pc divided
I'D, should they be able to prove
that their various papers are legally
entitled to the printing. he at once
caused the dream Of extra money tc
fade by a request that all itemized
bills be published in the papers
gratis.
If Mr.. Gill ever hit the Bulls eye
he hit it that time for there is some
question as to whether or not the
papers will attempt to follow Mr.
GilPs request. The fact, however
that Mr.. Gill put it UP to their civic
pride, leaves a debatable question
that will take more than an ordin-
airy conference to settle. They say II
they do attempt to publish the bills
free. the sheriff will surely visit them
and receivers will be in order.
