Nevada Bids Call For San Francisco Prices In State Printing
The Nevada state printing circular bids up to December 15 1894 require quotations to San Francisco prices with freight paid by the state. Lawmakers limit suppliers to Nevada merchants with a 10 percent profit cap but the rule favors San Francisco firms. A $5000 bond is demanded from Nevada merchants barred from profit, redefining how state purchases are made and provoking criticism as a flawed, unenforceable provision.
