Health, tis action necessitated the building of the new addi- tion. To do whàt has been donc, it was necessary to obtain the consent of the Municipal Coua- cil, The Board of Health and the Departmcnt of Education as the latter will cventually pay about 50 per cent of the cost. The Dept. set the maximum ex- penditure at $46,200 but askcd that the lowest tender be ac- cepted as the cast must be kept down. Mr. Herbert Cole o! Whitby was chosen as architcct and five tenders were rcceived froin contractors. The highest bid received was $58,107 and the lowest, $43,300. The lowest ten- der was from Mr. Roy Dunn of Oshawa and bis tender was ac- cepted. The- contract called for two new classrooms, four new washrooms, septic'tank, and the enlargement o! a small class- room. upstairs, plus many changes in heating, lighting, floors, etc. to conform with new conditions. Mr. Dunn was asked by the Bgard to make use of as much local trade and .labour as- possible. 1 lI order ta caver the cost, the Municipal Coundil, througl, the Bank o! Commerce bas is.

After all work is completed the Board still holds the 15 per cent for 37 days. It is hoped that the new rooms will be ready for occu- pation the first of the year and the Board plans to hold an "Open Night" on January l6th. 1956.
