He stated that the White Cross Center on Simcoe street south has carried on a full and varied program during the past year. The success of the center is best reflected in the response of former patients and other members to its program and the high record of attendance.

R, McEwen Public School next week, Use of the bid depository for all future construction projects will be considered at a later board meeting. Decision was made on the recommendation of the building and planning committee which met Wednesday at noon, R. H. Lunney, building and mainte- nace supervisor, described sthe bid depository procedure at that time, PROTECTS BIDDERS He explained that the bid de- pository was set up by a sec- tion of the construction indus- try, (the electrical and mechan- ical contractors), to protect the bidders during the period of the preparation of general contract tenders. "It was designed to eliminate ja practice known as "bid ped- jdling'"' by the general contrac- jtors," said Mr. Lunney, He ex- the practice of going from one contractor to another, pitting one against the other and en- deavoring to lower their bids in this manner. FOUR ADVANTAGES Mr, Lunney listed four advan- tages of the bid depository: 1) The board receives only one tender and is spared the time and necessity of dealing with three or more contractors as the case may be. 2) The general contractor is given an opportunity to choose! the electrical or mechanical contractor whom he feels will do the best job and with whom he prefers to work, 8) The architect deals only with the general contractor and thereby eliminates a '"'division of responsibility" which has been a source of trouble and ex- pense to the owners, 4) More responsibility for the choice of the mechanical and electrical sub-trades may be placed on the architect and the general contractor then by the present method -- the owner's choice of sub-contractors. TWO DISADVANTAGES Mr, Lunney drew to the board's attention two disadvan- |plained that bid peddling was Bid Depository Plan pted By Board sible for a contractor to pick other than the lowest tender and hereby increase the over ll cost of the project, and that the successful general contractor may not have received a bid from the lowest mechanical and -- or electrical bidder, hence he would be unable to submit this lowest price as part of his tender, Regarding these points, Mr. Lunney learned from the build- er"s exchange that a general contractor who would not use the lowest bids would be unlike- ly to stay in'business very long and that the general contractor would be "ostracized" by all electrical and mechanical bid- lders and thereby become in- eligible for bidd! on the over all contract, said Mr, Lunney, "All bids on the electrical and -- or mechanical trades must be stamped at the bid depository not later than 3 p.m. on the day prior to the closing of the tenders for the eonerst contract, The general contractor may only use the bid a ve mechanical or electrical con- tractor submitted to and named by them. He cannot take some- one else's bid no matter how much lower it may be, hence "bid ling' is eliminated," tages -- that it might be pos- said Mr. Lunney, Museums Six Injured Council Delays (AreNamed Ftershose% nine songs rendered by members of the cast found great response with the audience.
