Alderman Mann, as chairman on printing, report'ed that threebids had been received: TiiBRKGiSTER.thirty-eight cents per thousand ems; Washtenaw Times, twenty-two cents; Arguscourier, forty cents. The committee recommended that the last bid be accepted. They thought that by publishing theproceedings of the council in papers of different politics a larger number of readers would be reached. Alderman Martin did not approve of the report. The city could not afford to give printing to two papers. He was in favor of letting Mr. Beakes have it all. Aldermen Hall and Mann both argued in favor of the conibination bid. Editor Brown then sprang to his feet and Baid that the Times had bid eight cents a thousand less than it was worth to set up the type. The paper was not making any money and didn't expect to for some time. He wanted the city printing simply for the solidity it would give to the Times. If he had known that any combinations were to be formed he himself would have formed one. Alderman Taylor thought that the combination bid was irregular, inasmuch as he understood that the bids were to be single. After fither discussion the Courargusier bid was accepted, Alderman Martin alone objecting. APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES.
