bid on the city printing for the ensuing year:
The Rochester Journal will agree to print all legal and official notices and �
Council proceedings at the rate of fifty per cent of the legal. rate established by
lsw, (which means a saving of ong-half of your printing bill for the ensuing year
acc.rding to the rates you have been paying) and In addition to our paid subscription
list of almost 2500, we,will agree to print 2500 extra copies of the Journal of all
such issues as may contain official City printing, making a total circulation of
5000 copies - the same as we are now doing when we have official printing matter for
