O-.. Nov. 9. In his annual estimate, today filed with the secretary of state. State Printer Harris esti mates that the cost of state printing during the biennial period of 191i-1916 will bp $120,000. Under the old sys tem of handling the state printing the cost during the biennial period of 1913 1914 would have been $162,000, says Harris. i If the legislature will have each de partment pay for its printing out of its own fund and appropriate only a revolving fund of $!M)00, the depart ment can get along nicely, Harris as serts. Kxplalnfng the fact that $85,000 was appropriated by the last legislature for the biennial period, Harris says that for the previous .10 years the de partments had paid for printing, and the cost amounted to twice the ap propriation. thrEe inches OF SNOW Middleton, N.
