The board postponed any de- cision regarding the awarding of the contract and asked the archi- tect to take the matter under consideration and present the board with a revised estimate. The original estimate of the cost was $350,000, almost $150,000 less than the approximate cost indicated by the bids opened. Taking all the lowest bids and including the price of the land which is $17,000 and the approx- imate cost of the furnishings, which one trustee said would be approximately $10,000, plus the architect's fee of six per cent, it is believed the overall cost of the building will be in excess of BIDS OPENED The bids for the general con- tract and the sub-contracts were opened in the presence of the board and representatives of the architect, John B. Parkin Asso- ciates, Teronto. Trustee G. A. Fletcher told the board he couldn't understand it. He said the bids were far foo high. Mr. Fletcher said he felt the contractors had read the pub- licity regarding the board's esti- mated cost of the new building and tried to get as much of the $350,000 as they could, hence the high bids. DECISION IMPOSSIBLE He said the members couldn't possibly make any decision right away. He observed that many other school boards in the prov- ince were receiving low bids on tenders this year, Trustee M. Brown said he thought the board should just admit that it was into something a lot more 'handsome' than they thought. Board Chairman S. G. Saywell Trustee Brown suggested that the board instruct the architects| to investigate the possibility of revising the plans to exclude the| proposed maint e building! entirely and take out the air-| conditioning unit with a view to| seeing if this could sufficiently reduce costs, Bids were tendered for the general contract, plumbing and heating, ventilating and air-con-|' ditioning contract and the elec- trical contract, BIDS LISTED The general contract bids were as follows: Fidelity Construction Limited, Oshawa, $311,249; Brad- [H. M. ford-Hoshal, Port Hope, $317,118; Brooks Ltd. (Ont.), Osh- awa, $315,647; Louis Donolo, To- ronto, $324,641; E. A.

G. Saywell, chairman of the board, pointed out that the land, which is priced at $12,500, and which is adjacent to the school, could be used for later school expansion, if found neces- sary. He said that because of two- hour parking restrictions, now in force on that street, the teach- ers had to park their cars on the playground area, thereby depriv- ing the. children of that space. Trustee Margaret Shaw asked {if some sort of an arrangement {could be reached with the police department to exempt |teachers from the parking regu- lations, Trustee M. Brown said the police had no jurisdiction in the matter since parking regulations were determined by city bylaws, |He told the hoard that the cost of the land, based on the price of $12,500 for .43 acres, worked lout to $36,000 an acre, | W.

Council mem- bers had put a lot of work into the bazhar but the sum they raised will keep the school going for little more than seven days.

Besides the 17 pupils of the school who are given daily treat- ment by the physiotherapist there are others who have left the school for the city's public echools but come back to the clinic for treatment.

Because both the clinic and the school room have to be used by differ- ent groups in the afternoon and evening all the equipment has to be put away and unpacked every day. "The chairs and tables are spe- cially made and cost us each," she said. "It doesn't do them any good being stacked away every afternoon." She said that the Council hoped in time to put up a school build- ing of their own, It would adjoin the present classroom on ground provided by the Women's Wel- fare League. "Then the children would be far less crowded and we would be able to use the building in the afternoons too," Mrs, Arkless said, But the building is going to cost $35,000 and so far the Council has only two donations towards that sum, 50 request of city council, Street Light Replacement Very Costly When will city council, *'in all its wisdom' as the members say at their meetings, see fit to pass money appropriations ' so that the public utilities commis. sion can get on with the job of replacing street lights and globes?

Since then, the PUC has replaced five lights and globes on Thomas street at a cost of $85 to the city. Constant destruction to. these lights has reached such propor- tions that the PUC despairs of ever getting repairs up to date CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi. dents of Oshawa and' district who are celebrating birth. days today: * Mrs, Helen Blencowe, 294 Central Park south; Joseph Wright, RR 1, Oshawa; San- dra Hill, 159 Gibbbns street; Earl Bilcox, 238 Albert street; David Saxby, 512 Park road south; Donna Bind, 153 Bedford avenue; V.
