Member Associated Press The Newspaper For The Home Bridge Deck Ordered By County Unit Ohio Company To Supply Material On Low Bid Offer Following a lengthy discussion and a telephone call to an Ohio which bid on furnishing the Allegany County Roads Depart- ment with several thousand square feet of metal bridge deck- ing, the bid of'the United Steel Fabricators, of Wooster Ohio was, accepted. The Ohio firm's bid was 249.56 compared to a bid of 636.28 of the Super Concrete Company of this city. After the bids were read by James G. Stevenson, board clerk, John J. Rowan made a motion to award the local firm the business.

He said the local company' was a tax- payer and felt it should be given the business. The bids were tabulated and the Ohio firm stated delivery price was FOB Cumberland. Harry Skelly, roads 'supervisor, was instructed to call the firm to determine the method of deli- very. The Ohio firm said the delivery would be made to either the Franklin Street- garage stor- age yard or to the job sites. This information eliminated the possibility of the local firm get- ting the bid as it also had offered job site delivery.

Thomas L. Smith, "executive vice president of the local firm said: "The board is doing its job in award- ing the contract to the Ohio firm as it is saving the county tax- payers' money." The difference is approximate- ly $386 and Commissioner John Tucker Mason -said he would have preferred granting the local firm the business if. the differ- ence had been less. Commission- er William A. Wilson also cited the cost factor.

Framptom was contacted at his home in Federalsburg. Ha said he did not believe the state board would be forced into any- thing prematurely and stressed the careful study given this and other problems by thc board. Cite Master's Degrees An example he said is that since last year a graduate pro- gram for a master's degree has been offered at Froslburg Stata and Towson State Teachers Col- leges. The decision to offer such a program was made after long study and because it was felt the two colleges were ready for it. This, he emphasized, is only one phase of the entire program un- der study.

One reason there has been no comment on the Warfield Com- mission report, Framptom said, was that the board had no ad- vance copy and as a result it has taken time to study it. As a state board member, he said he felt some definite thing will be said about the report. Yesterday at College Park Gov. Tawes expressed determination to go ahead with the proposal to expand three of the state teach- er's colleges into liberal arts branches of the university.
