Brough Writes Hospital Asking For Explanation The follewing is a letter that has been sent te the board of the Memorial Hospital, Bow- manville by Jack Brough local heating and plumbing contrac- ter. Mr. Brough is aise a couli- ciller but this letter is written as a businessman and private citizen. We publish this letter for the interest cf our readers. Box 394, Bowmanville, Ontario, April 2nd, 1957. The Board of Diréctors, Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, Ontario. Gentlemen: Reference is made te the reý- ports published in "The Cana- dian Statesman" issues of March 7th and 28th, and te the letter cf March 29th writteni ça your behaîf te Town Couni- cil by Mr. Glenholme Hughes. Ycur letter very courteously expresses your appreciation (,f any interest in your affars that may be shown by meni- bers cf Council and citizens in general. Thus encouraged, and because my original questions, have net yet been answered, 1 am taking the liberty cf again dealing with the manner in xvhich maintenance, repair and alteration jobs at the Hosptal are awarded. Before doing se, please per- mit me te clarify ny position. As a tradesman who is also a member cf Town Council, it is understandable that my fellow tradesmen sheould discuss wi+h me any real or imagined griev- ances they may have concein- ing the operations of, the to-,n itself, or cf any public or sem;- public organization. I readilv admit that ia one cf the sev - eral matters under discussion 1 have a direct and personal in- terest, but it was as a spokes- man for a number of local tradesmen that I spoke to Council at its meeting cf Marcà 4th. Prier te March 4th I madle an effort te ascertain the facis by speaking te many members of your Board, and was reliab.j Mrs. M. Morgan, Mrs. F. Good- man, Mrs. E. Holland, Mrs. W. Waddiagton, Mrs. H.

Courtice W.A. entertained the Junior Farmers' Choir mem- bern and their friends at a coffre party on Friday evea- ing, following prescatation of "Talent Showcase", wvhich was enthusiasticaliy received by tne audience. Columbus - Kedron Officiai Board is te meet at Kedron on April 8, when Wilfred Pogson cf Oshawa, will be the gucýst speaker. Mr. Pogson plans te show pictures taken at the Un- ited Church Laymen's Confer- ence held last summer at El- gin House, Muskoka, aad at Albert College. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon San- derson, Mr. and Mrs. F. Winna- cott, Mr. and Mrs. J. Glover, ail cf Toronto, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Glover, dur- ing the weekend. Mrs. William Werry, presi- dent of the Woman's Associa- tion, attended the luncheon 1meeting in Northminster Unit- ed Church, Oshawa, when W. A. leaders throughout the Pres- bytery met te plan the Spring Rally. The Spring meeting for Presbytery W.A. is te be held in Newcastle Uaited Church on April 25. Mr. and Mrs. E. Mountjoy were Suaday visitors with Mrs. Walter Langmaid, Oshawa, when relatives gathered te hon- our Mr. George Awde of Dray- ton. Mr. and Mrs. Art Rowan and family cf Yelverton were Sua- day gue5ts in the William Wei- ry home. Mrs. Grant Ormistea is r,,- cuperating at the home of hr parents, Mr. and Mr$.

Oniy Alberta and Saskatchewani do not border on sait water. informed that some painting and carpentry work was eg dlone by men fromn PortPer and Oshawa. Whetber or not this work was sufficiently im- portant to eaUl for tenders cari best be judged by you, but it seems te me that qualified workmen should be available at reasonable wages within the area from which the Hospital derives its financial support. I therefore ask if this work was first offered to tradesmen with- ia our area. 0f greater importance is th-ý matter cf installing a new sys- temn for heating. the Nurses' Re- sidence. Inasmuch as neither your letter nor the "Statesman" presents the facts, I must con- tinue te rely on the informa- tion I was able te assemble. I am iafermed that the heat- ing system you have adopted is based on the recommendatieus cf an Oshawa man who is em- ployed in heating maintenance work but who is net a qualified heating engineer. Even with the best cf intentions, an unquali- fied person might weil suggest an improper system. This seems te be exactly what has hap- pened, and needlessly se, fur the manufactures cf heating, equipmeat will send their quai- ified heating engineers, with- eut charge or obligation, te de- sign and blueprint a proper system. The next obvieus step would have been te cali for tenders ebased on the officiai plan, and in this connection I would peint out that«there are ne less than twelve plumbing and heating contractors in Darlington and Clarke Townships. This was net done. Instead the contract was given to an Oshawa man for $2,600. This is neither fair nor businesslike, particularly as * price cf $2,090 was queted by a local coatractor in 1954 for this same job including the wiring and tunneling for which you have net yet committed your- selves. I am- sure 1 speak for my local colleagues when I pro- test your failure te cail for ten- ders. I have ne objection what- seever te losing a contract if my price is tee high, but I strenuously object when I amn net given an opportunity te tender. Glad as 1 arn te sce that yeu vre now calling for bids on the tunnel, the fact that you are doing se only seems te empha- size my dismay at your failure te do the same for the much more costly heating project. We note yeur references tei the saving of sales tax by pur- cliasing your equiprnent and materials direct. This same sav- ing is available te yeu whca you let a centract by tender. You simply do your own pur- chasing direct from the manu-.
