Board Pare -s$
From Buiid"in
Changes in specifications have
resulted in a saving of approxi-
mately
pproximately $9,000 in the contract price
for the SDHS addition, F. C. J.
Sills, board chairman, said Wed-
nesday.
Tenders for the addition were
opened two weeks ago and ranged
from $167,500 to $187,776. When it
was found the lowest tender was
higher than the estimated cost, the
board instructed its architects to
review plans in an effort to effect
reductions totalling about $10,000.
Inthe meantime, and pending com-
pletion of negotiations with Logan
Construction, of Stratford, who had
the low bid, the board withheld all
information from the press.
While a contract has not been
signed, agreement has been reach-
ed on the changes that are to be
made, Mr. Sills said. It is expect-
ed the contractor will commence
work on Monday, although there is
a possibility equipment will be on
the job this week.
The authorized debenture issue -is
$180,000. Estimated costs which
this must cover; in addition to con-
struction, are architect's fees, $10,-
000; debenture sale, $5,000; equip-
ment, $10,000; landscaping, $3,000,
and legal, $500. This left $151,500
for construction, including heat and
sewage.
Faced with a possible deficit of
$15,000 inthe light of a low bid of
$167,500, the board ordered a re-
view of plans to pare $10,000. The
balance will be gained by the post-
ponement of certain equipment
purchases. -
Building changes contemplated
to bring the bid in line with funds
available include elimination of
certain glazed tile in washrooms,
application of a different panelli.ing
in offices; reduction in ventilation
system, and .alterations in electri-
cal arrangements.
In addition, further savings will
result from -the use of a Seaforth
manufactured, heating boiler and
the installation of drapes by a Sea -
forth firm.
Mr. Sills said it was essential an
early start be made to ensure that
Percy G. Little'
Is New Bailiff
Percy G. Little, John Street, 'Sea -
forth, has been named bailiff of the
second division court, Seaforth. He
succeeds David Lemon, who re-
signed recently.
In last week's issue" it was re-
ported that Dalton L. Reid had
been appointed to the office. It is
regretted that this was in error.
Mr. Regid is division court, clerk,
and col tinues in that office.
Science comes out with some-
thing wonderful every day. Now
they have a hollow moth ball. The
girl just stuffs her bathing suit in-
side it,
the sewage disposal lagoon is in
operation by the time school- opens.
Preliminary construction work will
eliminate existing disposal facili-
ties, he said. The contract will
provide for completion by the year
end.

Plans Building
For Municipality
Plans are in the offing for a
$10,000 municipal building, near
Zurich for the Hay township mpn-
icipal council. The building, to 1.4et
underway at an early date, will be
located on a township site e: at of
Zurich, where other township build-
ings are presently located.
Originally the special meeting
was called to consider a proposal
for reconstructing the former town-
ship hall in Zurich into a munici-
pal building. The cost of this was
estimated at $8;000. The meeting
was unanimous in turning dawn
this proposal.
Outcome of this was the plan
for a completely new structure.
Hay township is one of the rich-
est townships in Huron County,
flanked by a fast-growing summer
resort area on its west boundary,
the possibilities of which can not
be estimated, one councillor re-
marked. We must keep up With
the march of time, and the future
generation is demanding the best.
The new building Will be fireproof
and this will mean °a Con46rabl6
saving in insurance premittritt. ,It
also means that the butiineta df the
