Kitchen of the board of administra- tion, ' Asks for Opinion Mr. Holt asked the Attorney-Gon- eral’s office for an opinion upon the matter, and the jopinion rendered was to the effect that since the institu- tions are maintained by appropria- tlon and the state laws provide for a state printing and publication commis- sion to administer them with an ex- pert state printer under them the Printing of the institutions should come under the contracts. The institutional printing has been sent out by institutional boards and most of it printed at regular rates, much higher than the contract rates which are based upon quantity pro- duction. The net result, therefore, is expected to be a great saving to the state and the institutions, and in ad- dition to bring this printing under the authority of the state printing and Publication commission and the state printer, so that a better check can be made upon the quality of work and the contract price sirictly adhered to. Members of the board of administra- tion stated they were satisfied to have the matter go under the state print- ing and _publicatic;. commission, be- cause the matter of printing bids is a technical matter and the carrying out of provisions of the contracts should. be under expert guidance to properly safe-guard the interests of the state.
