<br />rebidding, since prices are up twenty-five per cent over last year.

<br />from $3000 to $6000 since only uniforms for new fire fighters will
<br />be purchased and he did not feel rebidding would be of value.
<br />Upon motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. McMahon and carried,
<br />the Board accepted the recommendation of Chief Van Wiele and
<br />awarded the bid to the Shield Uniform Company.
