Low Bid Rejected By School Board By JOYCE HERGENHAN SOMERS— The Somers Board of Educa tion Aug. 20 flatly rejected ther lowest bidder for the district's ice cream concession and voted to readvertise for bids on the basis of butterfat content. The action climaxed a long discussion of possible methods of circumventing low bids for meat as well as ice cream. Two ice cream companies had submitted bids for the 1963-64 school year. One set of bids was considerably lower than the oth er, but the board refused to ac cept the low bid because of ad verse reports on the product's edibility. \My kids won't even eat tha brand,\ exclaimed board mem ber Guy Albertson. \I haven' heard anything favorable abou it yet,\ added another board member. Wayne Van Tassel, director of elementary education, noted that the ice cream concession pays the salary of one part time cafeteria worker. \If the sale of ice cream goes down,\ he ex plained, the economy of the cafe teria operation will be off.\ After school lunch manager Dorothy MacMillan explained an ice cream's quality is deter mined by its butterfat content, the board voted to reject both bids and readvertise for ice cream on the basis of butterfat content. The ice cream dilemma was proceedd by a similar controver sy regarding meat bids. All the board members present prefer red the company submitting the higher bid, but they were unable to find a suitable loophole. Noting it had \accepted the bids in good faith,\ the board voted to buy from the low bidder on what amounts to a trial basis. According to the board's deci sion, the district is not obligat ed to continue dealing with the company \if the quality of the meat is not reliable.\ A blanket resolution awarded the contracts for grocery items to the lowest bidder on each item but when it passed the resolution the board was uncertain of the low biddiers' identities. Before submitting the bids to the board, Mrs. MacMillan had disqualified one bidder because of a typographical error on the bid's carbon copy. The board voted to requalify the bidder, but since his bids were not considered when a list of low bids was prepared, neith- Nor+h Westchester Times New Castle Tribune, Mount Kfccq, N.Y., August 29, 1963 PORTABLE S T E R E 0 by Magnavox has no tubes to burn out making it a truly de pendable machine.

SED Approval Sought On Somers School Site SOMERS— The Somers Board of Educa tion Aug. 20 took the second step towards acquiring 97.451 acres of Lincoln Hall land as a future school site. It authorized board president Clayton Osborne to make for mal application to the State De partment of Education for ap proval of the tract as a school site. The board voted to start acquisition proceedings at its June meeting. If the state approves the ap plication, the board will submit the issue to the public in a refer endum. If the referendum is approved, the land which adjoins the Primrose School site, will cost the district $750 per acre. Board member Harry Cham bers reviewed the reasons which the board says will make the purchase advantageous to the district: 1. It would not remove assets from the tax rolls because the Lincoln Hall property is already tax-exempt. 2. The site is centrally locat ed geographically. Bus transpor tation costs would be kept at a minimum. 3. It is a very desirable piece of property and a good buy for $750 per acre. er the board nor Mrs. MacMil lan knew which company had submitted the low bid on each item. Since no bakery bids were re ceived before the Aug. 15 dead line, the board voted to readver tise for bakery bids when it re opened the ice cream bidding. 4. There is no other centrally located' sizeable trace of land in the entire town that would be suitable as a school site. 5. Lincoln Hall has changed its program and no longer needs he land. If the school district doesn't buy it, a developer will The net result would be many more school children and no room for school expansion. *'GRANDMA'S ATTIC\ the booth that delights antique hunters at the Westchester County Fair, really is stock ed with treasures from their ancestral attics by the gener ous ladies who pperate this popular department every year.

Board Names Attorney For White's Case By MARY LOU MEESE YORKTOWN HEIGHTS— Gordon Miller of 55 Church St., White Plains, has been named special attorney for the Yorktown Town Board in its dealings with White's Depart ment Store. The announcement was not made by the board at its meet ing Aug. 20, but was disclosed in a letter read to the board by a representative of Reavis and McGrath, attorneys for White's. Since the board had deferred action, the letter said, on White's latest request for approval of site plans on its Crompond Road property until an attorney could be r e t a i n e d, the department store's attorneys were now ask ing that a public hearing be set at the earliest possible date. Town Attorney John O'Rourke had earlier disqualified himself from serving as counsel in the White's request because he used to represent the firm. A representative of the board said the designation had been made only Aug. 20, and White's attorneys had. upon be ing informed of the special at torney's name, written their let ter to the board immediately. Councilman Dante Spadaccia, serving as chairman of the meeting in the absence of vaca tioning Supervisor John Down ing, told the representative of White's the board expected to receive an o p i n i o n on the re quest within a few days. \If the attorney says we can set a hearing — that everything is in proper form — we will set Road, was really the inspiration it immediately,\ Mr. Spadaccia for \Grandma's Attic,\ the pop said. ular antique booth of the annual The site plans were present- Westchester County Fair, which ed to the board in June immedi- will open this year on Sept. 5 ately on the rejection of a pre- and continue for four days, vious request for rezoning.
