CONRAD STATES
PRINTING STAND
Fact He Has Been Four Times
Unsuccessful Bidder Cause
of Action
(By The Associated Press)


Statement of his position on the
investigation into the bills paid by
the state printing commission was
made yesterday by E. J. Conrad,
proprietor of Bismarck printing
establishment.
In his letter to the printing COM
mission asking that his records be
checked by an impartial printer to
clear the atmosphere, State Printer
James Curran charged Conrad with
ciculating insinuations that bills
had been padded to the benefit of
another firm holding q state printing
contract.
Conrad's position, as stated in an
editorial printed yesterday in his
weekly newspaper, follows:
1T is the contention of the Capt.
tai that the Bismarck Tribune has
followed a certain policy of over
charging on state work, not by
charging q higher rate than that
bid but by assuming that certain
type used in composition is smaller
than it really is, by overlooking
what one form Of presswork consti.
tutes, by charging for binding which
was included in the bid-thereby
doubling the cost to the state-and
by utterly disregarding the contract
price for handling miscellaneous pa.
per and envelope items and placing
an arbitrary price thereon to suit
the bidders pleasure-and profit"
Conrad said he is interested in thu
state printing situation because o1
the fact that he has bid on STATE
work four times with little success
His contention is that the successful
bidder presented bids low enough K
get the contracts and then paddet
the bills so as to make . profit de
spite the low bids.

and since then has gone up to Isl
