The tender of British
Petrolitim Oil Ltd. to supply
• gasoline for buses owned by
• the Huron County Board of
Education was accepted at
Monday's regular meeting in
Clinton.
Chairman Herb Turkheim
explained that the prices
quoted• by BP were not the
lowest but this was the only
company which agreed to
supply extra equipment in-
cluding tanks, pipes, etc.
Turkheim said when
equipment was taken into
consideration the BP bid was
the lowest. BP, who has been
supplying the gasoline under
a• three year contract, is
willing to continue loan of
their equipment.
The current delivered price
quoted by BP is 72.02 cents
per gallon. This price
represents -a discount of 5.48'
cents at Brookside; Grey,
Howick and Turnberry and a
discount • of 5.08 _cents at
Stephen and Zurich. •
Tenders were received for
the sale of eight surplus used
school buses. Transportation
manager R.L. Cunningham
was instructed to accept all
bids except those which were
less than $500.
To Inspect Closed School
As the result of a request to
purchase' or rent a closed
school building in Ashfield
township, the Huron board
agreed to have the
management committee
bring in a report on the
condition of the building. •
Exeter trustee Clarence
McDonald suggested that if
the school is to be disposed of,
it should be offered to the
township.
Director John Cochrane
said it takes about a year to
go about selling a closed
school and- the laical
municipality is on the list of
groups which .have first
chance at purchase.
Cochrane added, "If a
school is for sale you must
assure the Ministry of
Education that a replacement
