New York, 1895
The bill heads printed for the Receiver of Taxes at the Standard office contained so many errors that they had to be put aside and new ones printed. Undoubtedly an attempt will be made to make the town pay for the incompetency of the printer. The Town Board shouldn't let the town treasury be fleeced in that way.

Violating the Printing Resolution
New York, 1895
Justice Kissam of Queens is a member of the town board. He should respect the resolution of the board that all printing be done by contract. Justice Kissam is not doing so. On Wednesday last a printer obtained copy for several legal blanks for him. The Justice has already obtained 6,000 blanks, enough to last him forty years, and the town has paid for them. The town board should compel respect for its own order by refusing to audit bills for work done in violation of it.

The Value of Competition
New York, 1895
The town was recently in need of dockets for the Justices of the Peace, which the law requires them to keep, and bids were asked from the town printers for 25 books, printed and bound. The Standard bid $10 a book; that would have been $250 for the 25 books. THE FARMER bid $37.50 for the 25 books. Now if Republican officeholders had given this work to the Standard, under the resolution of the Republican town committee, there would have been no competition, and the town would have had to pay $250 for what it gets for $37.50. This proves the value of the Town Board's resolution to have all work done by contract.
