ONLY ONE BID
RECEIVED FOR
Bridgeport Firm Asks
$95,015— Mix-up Be-I
lieved to Have
Caused Lack of Bid-
ders
Only one bid on the addition to
the senior high school was rbceived
and opened at an informal meeting
of the Joint School committee, com-
posed of members of the Board of
Education and Common Council held
last night at the senior high school.
.This bid was from Marten &: Sons.
of Bridgeport. The bid was for
$33, 845. If plumbing was included,
an oil furnace and other extras. to-
gether with the cutting up of the
present auditorium into four rooms.
the contractor's bid is increased to
$95,015. This allows 84,000 for the
oil burners called for in the archi-
tect's specifications.
Only two members of the School
committee were at the meeting.
These were Attorney Jesse T. Dun-
bar and Dr. George G. Fawcctt. it
was expected that several bids would
be reCelvcd on the high school addi—
tion. Superintendent of Schools
George V. Buchanan expressed the
opinion that more bids would be re-
ceived if the architects had thought
.that the addition was to construct-
ed. He expressed the opinion that
tho talk about the abandonment of
the addition had caused contractors
to feel that the advertising for bids
was only a matter of form.
As soon as possible, the Joint
School committee will hold another
meeting when the contracts for the
entire school program will -be
awarded and work started. It is
hoped that the committee can be
gotten together within a week.
