ders whose bids were as follows:
Capitol Printing Company, of Dover,
$2.45 per page; Delaware Republi-
can, Dover, So per page; Milford
Chronicle Publishing Company, Mil
ford, $4.24 per page; Star Publish
ing Company, Wilmington, $15.60 per
page. The contract was awarded to
the Capitol Printing Company, of
which corporation James F. Alice,
Jr. is president. Previous to the
opening of the bids Mr.. Alice an
nounced that he was bidding actual
cost on the work, and the tabulation
verified his earlier statements for
the figures are much lower than
actual cost in most printing plants.
1t was because of an earlier award
Of the work, which had been given
to Mr.. Alice that much of
the row in the House had developed.
In making the low bid it is his pur-
pose to try to make the printers who
have been awarded the contract for
printing the Senate Calendars con-
form with the prices quoted by him.
If this is done, it is certain that the
printers for that body will not make
profit on their work. Other print
ing for the House was awarded to
the Milford Chronicle, which was the
lowest bidder on the work.
Representative Wintrup has intro
duced in the House a bill to provide
for the care, maintenance and--in-
struction Of blind babies and chill
dren who are too young or too back
ward mentally to enter any of the
schools that are maintained for the
education of blind children. It would
if adopted, clothe the State Board of
Education with the authority to take
charge of this task.
Representative Wintrup has intro
duced a bill to amend the income tax
law. 1t would amend the law bv |
making the exemption for a married |
couple Sz5OO instead of $4,000 as at
present and by allowing an exemp-
t1on Of S4OO for each dependent IN
DER IL years. This would make fine
state law in this respect the same as
the Federal law. The present state
law allows no exemption for de-
pendents. Ue
A large number of bills bearing
upon school legislation, and bavin9
