committee buys Ottawa ActiVan Businessman Walt Dixon la angry at the Advisory Committee of council for the Town He maintains they never gave him or any other local businesses the tunity of tendering a bid on the vehicle for a transit service for Ihe physically disabled Not only did they not give us an opportunity to tender on the specially equipped van but he also received a letter from the committee asking for financial support for the program which Is slated to start May They expect us to help them financially when they t even bother to see if we could supply the vehicle thoy wanted Dixon told this news paper on Thursday I not the only one annoyed other automobile dealers feel the same he said Mr Dixon la a partner in the Park Lincoln Mercury Ford dealership at the corner of Highway and Park Lincoln could have supplied that vehicle Mr Dixon said and so could some of the other local automobile dealers in Halton Hills If they had been given the chance And they probably could have saved the committee money as much as he maintained I d like to know why it wasn advertised locally I read the local papers every week and never saw anything Councillor Marilyn Scrjeanlson

Court Whist Winners of the prizes were first prize Anna second prize Bertha Fox Low score Linda Cairns and Isabel McDonald his company could have supplied the vehicle She acknowledged Park Lincoln had supplied a van for a handicapped person recently with similar equipment but she says her committee felt the vehicle they needed was supplied by only three manufac turers in Ontario It is not a van she says but a special iied bus which carries six to eight people seated with wheelchairs Besides that she said we needed vehicle In four weeks and we felt there was no way local people could supply lt in thai time Councillor Serjenntson said the tenders had been advertised in the Dally Commercial News a newspaper moat municipalities used to advertise for special vehicles She never said why local newspapers were not used Anyway 1 don t see why he Is so annoyed at this because he never bid on small trucks the Town needed recently She said that there was also some local Input In to the purchase of the vehicle because the company which supplied it la owned by Travelways which operates in Kills The money for tho vehicle did not come from local sources she pointed out Half of it came from LcvlStrauss Canada 13 and a matching contribution from the Province of Ontario supplied the rest It distresses me that one individual can create a cloud over this program she told this newspaper Everyone on the committee Is a volunteer and we are getting a lot of flak from something where we thought we were doing out best It is discour aging people from contributing to the program for the dlcappcd which takes JIB an hour to run We depend on the good will of the com munity and this Is not doing the transit service any good Councillor maintained the Town does go out of its way to buy locally as she sees lists of accounts where local businessmen arc listed for purchases your chance to buy a first quality GrosMlex door and anywhere from 33 to The manufacturer is making a slight
