Preference Must
Be Given to Maine
Contract Bidders

Gov. Ralph Q. Brewster "Wednesday
sent a communication to the heads OF
all state departments calling their at
tention to Section SO of Chapter ~ OF
the Revised Statutes which provides
that the State, counties, cities ana
towns and every charitable or educa-
tional institution which is supported
in whole or In part by aid granted by
the State or by any municipality, snali
in the awarding of contracts for con-
structing, altering, repairing. furnish
ing or equipping it's buildings, or pub
lie works, give preference to work
men and to bidders for such contracts
who are residents of this State.
This indicates the legislative DEC
laration of a proper policy for the
State" continues Gov. Brewster IN his
communication.
1.-THE spirit Of this section would
certainly indicate its application to
all our needs whether the labor OF
Maine workmen or the products OF the
labor of Maine workmen. The state
represents purchasing power Of sew
eral million dollars. i.
"A careful study of the enclosed
booklet will educate us all to the va
riety and availability Of the products
of our State.
"a sincere effort to give preference
to Maine products by all departments
and institutions will set most excel
lent example to all the citizens of our
State in stimulating thought, and the
purchasing power of $200,000,000 which
they represent along these lines"
