of tenders for new building The lowest tender was Approval had en previously by town council and the Ontario Municipal Board for the make would be to ask an additional 20000 to cover the extra cost Of the architects fees As council reso lution to refuse the request some members suggested that li brary make another call for ten ders in hopes of receiving one for Others suggested vote of the people to decide whether or not to spend Before the refusal was made Mayor said can only say yes or no since the library board is the only body which can call for tenders Two Explanations Said Reeve Dales Some of us might say that there is a third alternative feel that we can have a new library There two possible explanations to this not seen the building plans Councillor said he Was not in favor of a vote of the am prepare to vote on it feel it is necessary to go to the people be said in disagreement among members of said Mr- DeputyRVe- was of the a library could be bufttibr ftOH She the plans be brought to council so trit the member would have more in formation Reasonable The mayor who is a member of the library board said that the board felt that the specifications wore minimum He added that they had called in the town engineer to consider plans Town Engineer Bos- worth said went over the plans and it seems to that they are reasonable Small items could be left out but they would reduce the cost very little The actual cost is or per square foot and it is a reasonable price good home can cost as high as per square foot The only possible way of getting down to two oubiue im f situation either the did not know his business or con tractors Who bid want an exces sive profit Maybe there are con tractors in this province if not in town who build this li brary for Councillor Robert said I agree that we should have a library maybe there is someone who draw plans for a 10000 building As to the plans submitted a library cannot bo built lor Maybe the plans 1 an be altered I feel the architect has have been in contact with a number of at- and they say they can estimate within five percent of the actual cost The argument on whether we shall give them an extra or not does not mean we will not get a library Councillor A who was chairman of the town coun cils special committee which in vestigated the proposal for lite new building said met Mr Vine the architect and I him He added that without Dr and Mr members of the library I board Mr Vine would nut have dared to add those extras If Messrs insist on sliding doors and woodwork trimming he added then I suggest putting size of the building The plans call for a well constructed Inst Tot 50 years Any economy in taking away from the structural stability would be a false economy Councillor John Hamilton said If tKo tee is not too high I suggest that another architect be obtained that is the answer said the reeve added But lets not make the mistake of hiring another architect to tell us The said that library has the legal right to call for a vote of the people oh the extra He explained the difficulties in proceeding to seek municipal ap proval on an expenditure before art accurate estimate is obtained As in the case of the library board a rough estimate had to be obtained for approval of the Municipal The library si by aft architect until it had the municipal boards first estimate was oft pretty to what was In this case the library board had to pay an fee of six percent to find out that the final price was than the approved price If the lowest tender was 52- then we are only 12000 over said Councillor Weight- man But there also is the architects fee of six percent phis incidental the mayor said Maciiiaughton asked how the councils own com mittee arrived at the 40000 es timate Councillor said that the committee with members of the library board discuss the question seems to me that it was putting the carte before the horse said the tyreevc Councillor remark- that another body recently asked council for am extra Council then or five at tlie request of and continued the in private When the session the resolution for by Messrs- and Dales was passed would rather see lib board for tenders than calk
