CENTRAL PRESS COMPLETE COVERAGE OF BURLINGAME * SAN MATEO * HILLSBOROUGH * MILLBRAE * LOMITA PARK * SAN BRUNO * SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO Burlingame City Council ;,,V 122 1951 Page 2 The Advance rate for publication of legal notices for the City of Burlingame for the coming fiscal year is $1.35 per square for the first insertion of any notice and $ .75 per square for subsequent insertions of the same notice. This is a slight increase over the rate charged last year. The increase was made necessary by the extremely heart' increased costs of operation in the newspaper industry. This is the sane rate charged to the County of San Mateo, the State of California, the United States Government, and to private attorneys for any legal notices published in our newspaper. The Advance also has shown an excellent increase in circulation over last year, making it even more desirable as an advertising medium for the City of Burlingame. The object of the laws requiring publication of legal notices in cities of the sixth class has been held by the courts of this State to mean the necessity and desirability of reaching the largest number of people in the locality affected. The Advance accomplishes this objective to the greatest degree of any publication in the City of Burlingame. The City Council of a city of the sixth class is vested with the right to choose the bid which best serves the purposes desired, which in this case Avuld mean reaching the largest number of citizens at the lowest cost to the city, in the manner pre- scribed by law. We respectfully solicit the legal notice publishing contract of the City of Burlingame for the coming fiscal year.
