The whole budget and the estimates were not compared, page by page but of the several pages that were inspected it was noted they were exactly the same.
 Estimates, Budget
 "It will be noted that estimates and budgets-275 copies were fur nished, about four times as many as supplied in the monthly printing of the minutes. I believe that the chief cost of printing is the cost ot composition and that the cost of running and the paper are small percentage. The budget cost is out of proportion to the cost of print ing the minutes"
 (NOTE: Certainly, the cost of
 a rush" job of supplying 8
 highly detailed and important
 set of figures entails additional
 labor, overtime for competitors,

 equipped to handle emergency
 rush" orders with the same efi-
 ciency as The Democrat).
 Comparative Tables
 Further, the report includes com- parative tables for printing such as: Amount charged by the Water bury Democrat, $22.50; amounts by quotations from local printers, $1o.5o, $9.75, $11; and, amount charged by the Waterbury Demo- crat, $45; amounts quoted by local printers, $16, $24.75, $35.
 NOTE: Certainly, there is
 enough variation in the last
 "estimates" to indicate the
 range of printing costs in pro-
 portion to the time element in-
 volved and the consideration of
 quality).
 The payment to the M. J. Daly & Sons, Inc, was noted as "overpay- ment in November, 1885, $608.47; caused by duplicate payment of in- voice to the water department" The office of the Daly company said: Tt told the controller sev- eral times that it desired to return the money but was informed that no method allow matter to continue" All credit (now) used by unpaid claims as of December 31, 1897, except $28.66, which the company still owes.
