THESE BEE R. 8. PELTON, = FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1892. MUNICIPAL PRINTING It is remarkable » how municipalities | throughout the country get their print. | ing done so cheaply. The average! municipality.gets bigger value for its money thaw any other concern having printing to do; infact the prices paid are altogether too low for the volume of work required to be done. The faultis perhaps more the publisher's j | i | PUBLISHER.| | With dark and bright the past has gone | And here and there the : -- is Sten, han the municipality's. The work isus-! ually let by tender, and it is astonishing | how low some printers will do the work | for. The Council of Elma, however, have dealt very fairly with THe BEE thus far, but we do the printing consid- erably below what it is really worth. The work we do for 36) (contract price for 1891) we woufd not think of doing, in the ordinary way, for less than Stu or $125. There is no reason under the sun why a municipality should not pay as well, proportionately, for its printing' xs any other corporation or individual, ; Some appear to haye the idea that news papers can live on air and promises of green cordwood;and whateverthey may pay for other municipal work, they take good care thatthe printer gets as little for his labor as possible. helps directiy and indirectly to develop the resources of the locality in which it is published, and is therefore entitled to the cousideration of the Council whose business it is to encourage each and ev- ery means that is seeking to advertise A newspaper | the resourees, advantages and possibil-- ities, of the town, village, or tewnship, aus the ease may be. The general print- of Elma is a heap of work in Itself. For instance: 200 copies of the voters' list have to be printed, each copy contains 34 pages of closely printed matter, mostly tabie work; 100 copies of the Treasurer's re- port,a book containing M4 pages of table work entirely, and so particular is this work that a singie error in the sum ming up of any of the numerous ac- couuts, would render the report about useless. Then thereare overa hund- red kj sheet posters, of different Kinds, to be printed; 14apeopies of the As an elaborate form that is worth a cent, and print- ing for the corporation sesor's schedule, { is worth S15 if it which few townships, if any, get ed); cheque books, forms, notices In the paper, ete, etc. No wonder the editer of the Mitchell Reeomicr drawsa deep sigh and remarks:-- The Recorder is going outof the man- | icipal printing business. It prefers to do that now to going to the poor hous in avery short time if it contin ues. This year the Recorder office did the Hibbert township printing for 34150. Anybody who wants it for that sum with one-half more added ts welcome to it hereafter. This office has also done the printing for this town for the year just past and is to receive for it a tnffe over S30. If anybody takes it fer that money and a half more added to it, ther will not doit many years and escape the poor house.
