Remarks of Hon James J Orr on public printing contracts
James J Orr of South Carolina speaks in the House on September 28 1850 regarding the public printing contracts. He cites the investigation by the printing committee, questions the relief for Trenholm Belt and Ritchie, and argues the contractors knowingly accepted losses and should not be relieved without full repayment with interest. He condemns excess profits from binding documents and inferior paper, advocates honoring the original terms, and notes delays and misalignment with contract specifications.
