Trustee Smith referred to the arch- | itects, Messrs, Hutton & Souter, of] Hamilton, as "mighty poor guess- | ers," since they had estimated the; school would cost $65,000, and now | it looked as though it would be | $82,000, He pointed out that one | tender for $34,000 had heen receiv- | ed and thought that the architect | should have been at the meeting last | night to tell where he was wrong. | He thought the idea of beauty in! connection with the proposed school | all right, but stated that a school of | the Simcoe Street type would serve the district. He did not blame the | contractors for the prices but | thought that the board should inves- | tigate the figures before going ahead, | If the Board went ahead at the pre- | sent price Mr. Smith wondered what | would happen to the Centre Street | school, "It has already been inti- mated that the Centre Street school has seen many years' service and may do for some more years. You, | therefore, appear to be going to make the children of one side of the town suffer for the frills for the chil- | dren of the other side, frills which | the pupils may not appreciate," he stated, He was certain that a school could be erected for $65,000 and while it was true that the schools are now over crowded, still the Man- agement Committee has been in- structed to look after this. Even if the Board went ahead and built a school now it wouldn't be ready till Easter and he asked, "Are you going to disorganize the system then, and put the children into a new school just before the examinations " He stated that the Board would be act- ing too late now in this matter and advised that they go slow now and look into the matter. An eight roomed school is being erected at Monteith for $40,000 he reported. $54,000 Tender Withdrawn Trustee E. W. Drew rose to remark that it would have been the fair Smith to have pointed out that the tender for $54,- 000 had been subsequently with- drawn and a new one for $65,000 sub- mitted, which was still $3,000 lower than the lowest "legitimate tender. This information was volunteered after Trustee Smith had referred to 'contractors and architects' unions as well as labor unions." Trustee Brown didn't think that the Board should go ahead and ac- cept any of the tenders, Before the school would be completed it would cost over $90,000, he said, Mr. Smith wanted to know why Sheehy, of Peterboro, who submitted the $54,000 tender, had acted in the manner he did. The trustee stated that this had not been a le- gal tender and that there was no cheque forwarded with it, He has heen told that schools can be built locally for less money. If the Board went into the matter in the right way he is satisfied that they could come off better and save a good deal of money, He stated that he was disappointed that nowadays neither the chairman, the Manage- ment Committee nor the Supervising Principal ever report on what ac- commodation may be needed, For- merly one of these three reported to the Board in advance, Trustee Knight stated that he couldnt con- scientiously support a school for that | district at that figure, Simcoe Btreet school "looks good to him' and he thought a similar one would do for the southeast district. He therefore | moved that the board reject all ten- ders that have heen received and ask for new plans and specifications for an eight roomed school to cost about $065,000, Trustee Chappell, a member of the Building Committee, stated that he is confident that if the Board engag- ed a capable man that a school could he built for a figure lower than the lowest tender, He, however, didn't think $68,000 exorbitant, as he had heen told-that the bare cost would he $61,000, which, plus the contractor's profit at ten per eent, would amount to about $68,000. He felt that the committee had acted very conscien- tiously in the whole matter. Trustee Smith interjected a question as to why it was Hutton & Souter had es- timated the cost at $65,000 and when a tender for $54,000 was re- ceived had stated that was about the right figure. A "Shell in the Wilds." Trustee Drew referred to the Mon- teith school as a 'shell in the wilds of Northern Ontario," stating that a | good school in Oshawa would neces- sarily cost something. Trustee Brown stated that there are fifteen elected representatives on the Board of Education, yet for some time it has seemed to him that a certain few people are running the Board without letting the other members have any information on the various subjects. He stated that he has always favored any proposed new schools and personally would like to see a 20 roomed Centre Street school at any cost. He favors large schools and does not like dot- ting the town with little ones. At this point Trustee Smith seconded Trustee Knight's motion. Then Trustees Brown ana Drew got fio a verbal tiff. The latter maintained that he had always in- vited the former to committee meet- ings held either at the G.M C. offices or in the Board of Education room. Mr. Brown denied this, stating that he was only once invited to the Mc- Laughlin offices and never to the Try Doing Next Week's Washing with Rinso Find out for yourself why hundreds of thousands of women say that they could not face breaking day without it.

J. Storie, be an increase next September to take care of again, If a new perma- nent school were built now he would not disorganize the classes next Eas- ter by moving them into the new school if it were ready. Trustee Chappell, speaking with some heat, regretted the waste of time over this school business and asked why, if other members could see economies now, they had not seen them sooner, If so many fav- school "why not get a bunch of con- tractors together, and tell them you want another like | it?" he asked, He would refuse to sit on any building committtee that the Board might appoint in the fu- ture, He agreed with Trustee Drew that Trustee Brown had refused to come to committee meetings and stated that this was "hecause the architects were not of his direct choosing." Trustee Brown, address- ing Trustee Chappell, stated that "I refuse to leave my work for wou or anyone else, You and Mr. Drew will be on the carpet for this tomorrow." Hour Inconvenient, Trustee Smith stated that the rea- son he had not attended many com- | | mittee meetings was because they were mostly called at five o'clock, a | | most inconvenient hour for him. | | Also, when he was invited .he did | | not like to impress his views on the committee unless specially asked to, | as he realized that he was only there | on invitation. Chairman Henry stated that if this school cost over $00,000 that it cer- tainly would not he possible to erect two schools for $200,000 as original- {ly planned.
