ROAD IS DOUBTFUL
Meridian Street Recruiting
of No. 81 Not Sure.

Recruiting of State road 81, to run
out North Meridian street to Sew
enty-f1rst street and then over to
Pennsylvania street and north of
Carmel, is not yet settled. and the
announcement of Director John j.
Brown of the state highway depart
ment was somewhat premature,
state highway commissioners stated
today.
They received a delegation OF
citizens in protest to this route, who
live on Pennsylvania street, in the
Williams creek district, where the
new route would be located. They
do not want this traffic there, they
told the commission. In turn they
we're told other surveys are being
made and no definite decision has
been reached.
Carmel citizens resent taking the
route out of their town.

BIDDING RULE
MAY REDUCE
SCHOOL COSTS
New System Is Adopted in
Effort to Slice Build
ing Expenses.

Attempt 70 prevent collision in

lsting. plumbing and electrical fix
ture bids. and 70 reduce building
costs. will be made BY the school
board through a new bidding rule
Just adopted, according to A. B.
Good. business director.
In the future. Good said. the
board will receive bids direct from
manufacturers Of heating and ven
tilating. plumbing and electrical fix
lures. instead Of permitting con-
tractors to include these items in
their installation bids. Separate
bids for installation only will be re-
ceived.
In announcing the ruling. Good
cited figures taken from bids for re-
modelling Of School 40. in which a
wide divergence is shown in prices
bid for these three types Of equip
ment.
Usually Big Difference
Manufacturers say their prices to
contractors are the same, but usual
" there Is a difference of several
hundred dollars between bidders on
the same equipment Of any one
company" Good said.
Iabulation Of bids on School 40
revealed one plumbing contractor
bid 1886 on each of four standard
makes Of plumbing fixtures. Another
plumber bid s2,172 on each Of five
makes.
Prices c.. a sixth make, which.
Good said, until the present board
took office Jan. was not per-
mitted under the specifications. but
which is an equally good product, in
each instance were lower, varying
from SI.57O to $4,000.
The above prices we're quoted for
furnishing the equipment only. in
stallation being included in a sepa-
rate base figure varying from S5.l3l
to S7,643, on School 40.
IN South Bend. the bids on five
standard makes always are lower
than those on the make formerly
banned here, but in TT. Wayne and
Indianapolis they are much higher,
/ have found" Good said.
Hope to Slice Costs
Under the new system the board
hopes to cut school costs through di-
rect purchase of equipment.
L have been informed that there
have been instances in the past,
Good said, where contractors bid
ding on certain school needs got to-
gether before submitting bids and
decided who should be permitted to
be the low bidder. The next time
another contractors turn would
come and the remaining bidders
would submit a higher figure.
However. the present board is
making a determined effort to pre-
vent this practice, with the expecta-
ton of lowering school costs ma
terially. if entirely successful"
