Ayers Says Committee
Could Have Said
More; Didn't Wish
To Embarrass Cabinet

OCALA B-Rep. Willard Ayres,
ocala, chairman of Ayres Com
mittee of the Florida Legislature
which investigated a renovation
project at the state Capitol, said
today the committee had no in
tention or desire to embarrass the
Cabinet or it might have said more
than it did.
Referring to the Tuesday Cabinet
meeting when the legislative COM
mittee was criticized, AyreS' state
ment says:
THE 1851 legislative act only
authorized the air-conditioning of
the House chamber on the third
floor of the north wing of the
Capitol. The minutes of the meet
ings of the board of commissioners
of state institutions clearly show
that the Cabinet authorized the
preparation of plans for air con.
ditioning the entire (the word is
underscored) north wing of the
Capitol before the legislative sane
ton of any kind had been procured
for departure from the terms of
the 1851 act which simply called
for the air-conditioning of the
House chamber. It was only at a
much later date that legislative
committee and the house caucus in
Tampa were called upon to ap-
prove the additional expenditures
"It should further be pointed
out" Ayres' statement continues,
that no reference was made in
the report of the investigation com.
mittee to the fact the purchase of
some $4,000 in air-conditioning
equipment by the Florida State
Improvement Commission, without
specifically authorized additional
air-cond;tioning work, totaling
further that the board of commits
sioners of state institutions also
Sos, 900 by change orders to con-
tracts without any competitive bid
ding.
IF the committee had had any
intention or desire to embarrass
the Cabinet, these facts could have
been emphasized in the report of
the committee. II seems to me
that the Cabinet, rather than COM
planning of unfair criticism, would
have been doing greater service
to the people of Florida at its
recent meeting had it adopted the
recommendation of the committee
that 1t follow a policy Of letting
no contracts, making no purchases,
and issuing no change orders to
contracts, in excess of the sum of
5000, without securing comepti-
tive bids, under the same general
conditions as now obtain in con-
nection with the State Road De-
partment contracts and purchases.
-"
Ayres said the statement was
cleared with all members of the
committee. @
