Don Snider, the architect, fielded this question by stating that the only answer was that the sub-trade prices on the contract were higher than the general contractor thought they would be. "I think the building will be just right for the purposes for which it is intended," he added. Wilmer Hardy, Colborne, asked if the time of year might make some difference in contract prices. In the busiest construction season, prices seemed to be higher. Mr. Snider replied that if the contract was re-tendered later in the year, the price might change, but he felt that the fall was a good time to start as the building could be completely enclosed before bad weather arrived.' Roy V. Pattison, East Wawanosh, thought, the longer you waited, the more expensive it would be. Clarence Boyle, Exeter, pointed out that the new building would provide for extra expansion.
