City council and other muni- cipal groups are moving closer to a program of co-operative purchasing. But, so far, one main stum- bling block has emerged. Oshawa's board of education, following the lead of the Sepa- rate School Board, last night while supporting group munici- pal purchasing in principle, vetoed a procedural suggestion W. J. Crompton for fuel oil buying. Board trustees endorsed the theory od saving through joint buying, but like the Separate School Board 10 days ago, they objected to the city having the final say in cases of identical low tenders. City council's finance com- mittee last night supported the co-op purchasing plan in prin- ciple and voted to recommend to city council next Tuesday that it be adopted, FURTHER TALKS However, the council commit- tee, aware of the Separate School Board's rejection of the plan and the possibility that the board of education might also turn it down (they met at the same time) supported the plan in principle only, leaving room for further discussions on procedure. Mr. Crompton said the fuel oil purchasing would lead to co-op purchasing in other areas. He said 'substantial savings" could result from this type of joint buying. He said most larger munici- by city purchasing director) {should lead to further economy palities have been co-op pur- chasing for at least 10 years and some have _ experienced savings up to 25 per cent, Mr. Crompton said he has arranged to meet Aug. with the Catholic school board to further discuss the proposal. He said the Oshawa Genera) Hospital and Public Utilities Commission have contracted for fuel oil this year but might be interested in joining the co-op plan next year. MUTUAL EFFORT Trustee Stanley Lovell said last night group purchasing is right in theory but suggested in cases of identically accept- able bids a committee with equal representation from buyer groups would be a preferable} Purchasing Concept Dandy But Clause Balks Approval --Fuel oils tendered shall con- form to Canadian government specifications: --The low net price per gal- lon received for each group of fuel oil will be accepted. In the event of identical low prices a decision of city council shall be final; --Each buyer group will at- tend to its own ordering, releas- ing and delivery schedules. Each buyer group will be in- voiced separately and the pro- cessing of invoices for payment and the receipt of goods will be its responsibility; --Each buyer group will have a representative at the tender opening proceedings; --After tenders have been opened and read publicly they vehicle to decide on the ful contract bidder. "It's a mutual effort," he said, "Let's keep it that way." A motion by Trustee William Werry to notify the city of the board's agreement in principle but requesting further discus- sions on procedure, was ap- proved by the trustees. Mr. Werry said the system in other areas of municipal will be turned over to the city purchasing agent for recom- mendation to council, with a copy of the final tabulation and recommendation mailed to each buyer group for its records; --Each buyer group will pro- vide required data for the pur- chasing agent, such as the type of oil required and location of storage tanks, by a_ certain date, 1000 Property Owner Protest Valley Roa = Citizens' Committee Meeting On Wednesday | About 1,000 petitions have been signed by property owners opposing the construction of an "expressway" in the Oshawa Creek Valley.

Mr. Nicol said petitions will soon be located in some buying.
