The construction of the new Community Hospital in Port Perry has pro- gressed further by the an- nouncement of the third reading of a by-law in Ontario County Council authorizing a grant in the amount of $349,112. Followed by this, is the good news that 14 tenders were opened and studied at a special meeting of the Hospital Board held re- cently in the Court Room of the Municipal Building. The tender submitted, and in all probability ac- cepted is from Bathe & McLellan Construction, Oshawa, and is in the a- mount of $952,000. This amount covers the actual construction of the building, including mech. anical, electrical material and kitchen equipment. The company is prepared to start by Oct. 30th. but before construction can be started the tender is sub- ject to the approval of Ontario Hospital Services Commission.
