CONCORD - HAMILTON - ST: CATHARINES -2- The engineer's estimate of construction for this contract was $700,000.00 and based on the trend in the local construction industry where the tender prices are 10 - 20% lower than the construction cost estimates, we believe that the low bidder's price is fair and reasonable and well within the engineer's estimate. The low bidder, De Rose Bros. General Contracting Ltd., has undertaken many projects in the City of Niagara Falls and in the Niagara Region throughout the last few years and have generally performed well. It is therefore recommended that the construction contract for Contract No. 91-107, McDougall Crescent, College Crescent and Cookman Crescent Reconstruction be awarded to DeRose Bros.

CATHARINES, Ontario L2R 7C2 Dear Mayor McCaffery: RE: LAY-OFFS AT ST. CATHARINF_,S GENERAL MOTORS I am most concerned about the future of the present jobs at General Motors, the lay-offs which are taking place and the ultimate future of the automotive industry. Many people are of the opinion that this is a St. Catharines problem, but a large portion of the work force at General Motors resides in Niagara Falls, and the economy of our community will definitely be affected. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you, at your convenience, to discuss this very important matter with a view to doing whatever is possible to at least keep the present jobs intact.
