PRINTING CONTRACT FIGHT.

Lafayette Sunday Times: “Last Wednesday, W. Bent Wilson brought suit against the county commissioners to enjoin them from carrying out a contract for book and stationery supplies with the Burt-Terry Stationery Company* awarded in December for $2,200, alleging that no requisition was made by county officers for supplies, and that there had been no notice or advertisement for bids. Commissioner Cochran says verbal notice was served on prospective bidders, and claims that, under acts of 1875, the board has authority for proceeding in this manner.”
