N()NWHEN
FUND IS
SHORT
Will Ask 10 Per Cent Margin
Over Appropriations Made
by Congress

The Commissioners are framing
Legislation to be introduced in the
next session Of Congress which
win solve the problem Of having
bids for building projects exceed
the amount of money available in
annual appropriations.
In preparing such legislation,
the Commissioners are seeking
definite legislative policy which
will permit them to proceed with
building operations when condi-
tons prevail which make it vir-
tually impossible to construct pub
lie buildings within the sum al
loted.
Seek 10 Per Cent Leeway.
Engineer Commissioner J. Frank
lin Bell favors giving the commits
sioners a 10 per cent leeway on the
amount stipulated in the appropria-
ton act. He believes that this viii
take care Of the increase in building
costs between the appropriation Of
the money and the opening of bids.
In the absence of specific legisIa-
tive authorization, the commits
sioners are unable to accept bids
which exceed appropriations. They
are forced to reject bids, however
acceptable they are. Under present
conditions, the commissioners must
readvertise for bids after elfminat-
ing all but absolutely necessary
specifications
Two Cases Cited
Two notable instances of the fault
of the present method of appro-
priation were the new school build
ing to be erected in Manor Park
ard the proposed wing and assem-
bly, hall for the mcfarland junior
high school.
Both bids EXCEEDED the appro-
pr.ations. In both instances the
commissioners had to revamp their
plons to allow them to obtain new
bids and proceed with the projects.
