Present at the meeting were Reeve Scoins, Councillors Close, Christie, Crich, Scott, and Sharp, also the en- gineer, Graham Reid. A number of the bidders also had representatives on hand. Councillors were not sure they wanted to open the tenders on Mon- day onday evening without all members present. Mr. Reid pointed •out that the tenders had closed the previous week and that the town was holding forty -thousand dollars in bidders' certified cheques. Councillor Christie presided in the absence of the Mayor. After the eleven tenders bad been opened, the engineer recommended accepting the lowest bids on each part of the work, or if council wished to leave acceptance over to a full meeting to hold these two bids and return the others. Councillor Crich suggested also holding the bid of the Gaffney Co. for the plant, and the Hishon Co. for the sewers, as they were the next lowest. Council agreed to this. Council passed a resolution that the other 'bids be returned with thanks. The total of the two lowest bids amounted to $85,164.50. This is within the estimate presented to council last month.
