funds at the present time°

the painting, plastering, seeding, millwork and the main roofing contracts have not
been awarded as yet° He explained that in the next Progress Report the total sub-
contractual bids will probably be included.
Mro Coons questioned if the local contractors are included on the bid list? They
are if they are qualified° All qualified contractors are given an equal opportunity
to bid°

well done°
