I SEE that the York Citizen may be revived. Is it possible for the city council to use ordinary plain, white paper, and plain, black ink to tell its citizens what it wishes to say?

As a publisher, I know what it costs for artwork, glossy paper and multiple inks, to prepare a publication such as the previous Citizen.

The inhabitants of York are not children - they don't need pretty pictures to persuade them to read a city publication. The cost savings would help to pay the councillors' expenses, perhaps.
