:ITY Of WYAkDoTTE COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

Referred to council
Honorable Mayor and Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
With reference to bids on pub
fishing and printing of the City
Clerks annual report which were
referred to the writer's, We beg to
report as follows:
The bid of the Wyandotte News
Company. in amount of $995.00, for
publishing the report in their news
paper and furnishing 5000 copies
in booklet form for mailing, was
the only bid received in accordance
with our specifications, and II 1t
is the wish Of your honorable body
to issue the report in booklet form,
we recommend the acceptance of
this bid.
The Wyandotte Tribune proposed
to publish the report in their news
paper for the sum Of $350.00, point
ing out that commercial book print
ers and binders are not too anxious
to bid on the completion of the
report in booklet form, due to
shortage of paper and experienced
help, and that any bid submitted
would necessarily be somewhat ex-
cessive.
In view of these facts, we believe
your honorable body should serious
ly consider eliminating issuance Of
the report in booklet form during
the present emergency. If the re-
port was introduced into the min
uteS of a regular council meeting,
1t would automatically be published
In the Wyandotte News-Herald at
a cost of 31a cents per line, which
would make the entire cost about
$500, as against $995.OO for the
booklets. When the cost Of postage
for mailing the booklets is consid-
cred, this would result in a saving
to the city of approximately $1,000,
and no one would be deprived of
the opportunity of having the COM
plete report
Respectfully submitted,
Ford Wagar, City Clerk
Wilfred Kane,
Purchasing Agent
