Private Firms Likely to Print State Materials for 1967 Legislature
Des Moines Iowa AP State printing chief Victor Gallo said private firms are likely to handle the 1967 legislative printing after protests delayed plans to expand state operations. Bids on the job and extra equipment will be opened Monday with five firms indicating they will bid. The 1965 printing cost was about 175 dollars for the year and officials say the job could run under 100 thousand dollars if privatized, though some argue that would cut quality.
