H, W. Watts, contractor for the new school; Robert Wallace, the sub-contractor, and Architect Drever were present at the meeting, and for a time the questions came thick and | fast, but after explanations had been made by Trustee L. T. Best, chair- man of the Property Committee, the | two contractors, and the architect, everything was settled satisfactorily | to all concerned. After all had been { said and done, it was found that the contractors were up against it in the | way of securing the cut stone requir- | ed, and that they were compelled to | get stone cut in Toronto to fill the | bill, so that work could be proceeded | with, and so the roof of the school | could be completed in time to allow | for the other work to go on during the winter months. . A letter will be | sent to the City Council, stating that Kingston labor and material {s being used in the construction of the new school, and will be used as far as possible. . Letters of Complaint. The matter, it will be recalled, was brought before the meeting of the City Council held on November 2nd by Ald. Driscoll. He complained that cut stone was being secured in Toronto for the new school, and he held that the Board was not doing the square thing, as a promise had been given to use local labor and material. In addition to the letter from the City Council, the Board also received a letter of complaint from W. H. Fowler, secretary of the Kingston Building Trades' Council, complain- ing about the same matter. Many Questions Asked. As soon as the letters were read by the secretary, Trustee Best, chair- man of the Property Committee, was called upon for an explanation as to stone for the school had been secured outside the city. Trustee Best stated that no doubt Architect Drever could explain the matter better. He said that trouble had been experienced in securing the stone required, and that it had been decided to take the quickest way to avoid trouble. Trustee Baldwin said the trouble had never been brought before the Property Committee, and stated fur- ther, that if the matter had been brought to the attention of this com- mittee, he felt sure that it could have been settled satisfactorily. Trustee Balwin could not see why outside people had been brought to the Board meeting in an advisory capa- city. He also could not see why the Board should be criticized by what he termed a "pre-election speech" of Ald. Driscoll. He felt that it was a matter for the chairman of the Pro- perty Committee to explain, and not the contractors or the architect. Trustee Jones wanted to know what was in the contract for the erection of the new school. Was the Board bound to employ Kingston labor and local material, Trustee Best explained that the contract called for Kingston material and Kingston labor "as far as pos- sible." Trouble had been experienced in securing the cut stone required, and as he was leaving the city, he did not have time to call a meeting of: his committee. It had been pointed out to him that the cut stone requir- ed could not be secured in Kingston for at least six weeks and this would tie up the entire job. Trustee Best stated further, that it was all bosh to say that men had been walking around looking for work of this kind. The stone could not be secured here, and it was a case of getting the roof on the school before the cold weather, so that the inside work could be carried on dur- ing the winter. Trustee Moore wanted to know when the sub-contract had been awarded to Mr. Wallace, and was in- formed by Mr. Watts that Mr. Wal- lace had been given the sub-contract immediately after he had received the main contract. Trustee Baldwin wanted to know 1it the stonecutters had been consult- ed In regard to the matter. He thought that the Property Commit- tee should have been consulted and the matter discussed. Trustee Bishop wanted to know how soon after the emergency arose, had the chairman of the Property Committee be consulted. tee Best stated he could not remember the exact date, but he thought that it was about a month ago. hop, "and at that meeting Secretary | Allen and I were asked if Kingston | labor would be employed on the new | school and we said, "yes, as far as | possible." I feel that the city Coun- | cil has general cause for complaint | against our action, If there was an | emergency, the Board had no notice | of it." ! Trustee Mrs. Godwin stated that she did not know anything about | the matter until she had read about | the complaint of Ald. Driscoll in the | newspapers. She too had been at | the meeting of the City Council, the | night the money had been granted to | build the new school, and she under- | stood that Kingston labor and ma- | terial was to be used. | Trustee Milo asked if it was abso- | lutely necessary to get the material | outside the city. This was the ques- | tion. The chairwoman, Mrs. Newlands, stated that she was a member of the deputation that went before the Couiier! to secure the money for the new school. She understood that Kingstog material and labor would be used. She thought that Trustee Best should have called a meeting of his committee to discuss the matter. Trustee Bishop said he did not want to find fault with the contrac- tors, but he felt that Trustee Best should have consulted his commit- tee over the matter. : Architect's Explanation, Architect Drever was called upon, Women Everywhere Are Talking About the Values at Jackson-Metivier's THRIFT WEEK SALE!

'stated that there was only one way | from outside the city. and he stated that difficulty had been experienced in securing the cut stone required. Three weeks ago, Con- tractor Wallace stated that he could not get the stone here until the mid- dle of January. He and Contractor Watts had interviewed Trustee Best, and had told him what they were up against, and that the work was being tied up. They asked Trustee Best what they had better do. Trus- tee Best stated that he cou not give them authority to get stone from outside the city, unless the workmen concerned were agreeable. He had suggested that Mr. Wallace inter- viewed the stone cutters about it, and the matter was left in this way. Later on he heard that stone was be- ing cut in Toronto. Contractor Wal- | lace went to Teronto and gave orders | for the stone required. The work had been held up, but the contractors could not be blathed. There was a shortage of both labor and stone here and it was known that the stone would not be available until the middle of January, As to the com- plaint made by a member of the Council, that there was no shelter for the men cutting stone, he stated that it had not been the practice to erect shelters other than a shanty for the men in which to eat their lunch. "When was it suggested to cut the stone outside the city?" asked Trustee Moore. "As soon as Contractor Wallace said he could not get the stone here," replied Architect Drever. "Did the stonecutters give their consent to the stone being cut out- side the city?" asked Trustee Bald- win, but the question was not ans- wered at this point. Architect Drever stated further, that Contractor \Wallace had told him that one stonecutter had applied | ly gne style in the higher priced cogs.

He understood that this stone- cutter went elsewhere and secured work. Contractor Wallace did not refuse to give stonecutters work, He had been securing stonecutters out- side of the city. Trustee Wightman asked as to how many masons would be laid off pending the securing of stone. and was informed that practically all the masons would be off work. It was also stated that the amount of money involved in the stonework reached $2,400 and that of this amount $1,800 would be for labor. Trustee Milo questioned whether it would be wise to hold up all the other work on the school all winter for the lack of stone. Contractor Watts on being asked an explanation of the conditions, stated that stone coilld not be se- cured unless temporary arrange- ments had been made and this would have added to the expense. Letter to Council, Trustee Bishop stated that in view of the letter received from the City Counell, it was up to the Board to inform 'the Council that it was the intention of tha Board to employ Kingston labor and use ' Kingston material, and to ask Contractor Watts to comply with this. "I certainly will," sald Contractor Watts. Contractor Wallace sald that he did not consult the local stonecutters regarding outside labor. He did not consider that it was necessary for him to do so, as he knew the situa- tion better than anyone in Kingston. He was trying to get stonecutters for the job. He had secured some in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Corn- wall, and he had work for them that would last till next July. He regard- ed all the trouble as merely "A temp- est in a teapot." When Contractor Watts had informed him that he could not secure the stone, he had to got it, and that was to secure it It was cost- ing him more money to get the stone from outside the city, but he did so to help out Mr. Watts. The local Manseutiers would not consent to titude of the contractors. He felt that the responsibility rested on the Board. In this case the Board was not acquainted with the facts. Trustee Bishop said he was satis- fled with the statement of the con- tractors, but felt that the matter should have been dealt with by the Board. The members should not be attacked for something they did not know about. The Council should be notified that the policy of the Board in regard to the matter was that Kingston labor and Kingston ma- terial should be used on the new school as far as possible. And on motion of Trustees Best and Bisghip, it was decided to have the secretary write the Council ex- plaining the matter, and pointing out that it was the policy of the Board to have Kingston labor and King- ston material used ad far as possible.
