Mr. David Hozza, President
Saint Paul City Council
722 City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear President Hozza:
On Janua.ry 12, 1976, I wrote you concernin.� the dilemma
in which the City of Saint Paul found itself with regard
to the Council' s declaring an official legal newspa.per.
With my letter I referenced a letter on the same subject
to the State Commissioner of Administration.
Mr. Albert Olson, secretary to the City Council, today ad-
vises tha.t the Saint Paul Legal Ledger is now willing to
publish our ordinances and such other ma.terial required
by law to be printed at the rate at which they were per-
forming the work during the latter ha.lf of 1975. The rates
were then and will be in conforma.nce with the certified
line rate established by the State Commissioner of
Administration.
,e,ccordingly, Mr. Olson ha.s retrieved the prior resolution
sent to you with my January 12, 1976, letter, and a new
resolution is enclosed for the consideration of you and the
Council.
Very truly yours,
� `
