Sec. 6. The contract of the successful bidder shall contain, among others, the following covenants:
1. That he shall take out no copyright except to the secretary of state for the use and disposal of the state, upon any volume published under such contract.
2. That if it shall, on petition by any citizen of Michigan, be made to appear to the justices of the supreme court that such contractor has in any respect failed to comply with the provisions of this act or his contract, said justices may, upon hearing had in such manner as they may direct, declare the contract forfeited, and on such forfeiture being declared, such contractor shall upon demand of said board transfer to the secretary of state of this state for the use of the state, all the electrotype plates of all volumes published under such contract, or in default thereof will pay to the treasurer of this state $1,000.00 for each such volume as liquidated damages for failure to make such transfer.
3. That he will, as often and as soon as any and every volume is ready for binding, deliver to the secretary of state at Lansing, free of all charge whatsoever, a set of electrotyped plates thereof in good order for printing, or in default thereof he shall pay to the treasurer of this state the like sum of $1,000.00 as liquidated damages for failure to deliver the same. Moneys received under this section shall be used as far as necessary to procure electrotyped plates of such published reports, to be paid for by said treasurer on the draft of the board of state auditors approved by the secretary of state, who shall certify that such plates have been deposited with him.
