First step is for the high school board to go to the Ontario Department of Education with figures of the number of pupils to be accommodfited and the type of schooling to he provided. Following publication of a recent report~on an under- estimating of the cost of the latest addition to Bayview Secondary S c h o o 1. Sam Chapman, superintendent of schools for the York Central District High School Board. contacted “The Liberal” of- fice to clarify the matter.

Hollinrake hearing of the n submissions on will be re- at this office department makes a rough estimate of the likely cost of the project. In the case of the latest Bayview Sec- ondary addition, this esti- mate was $950,000 for the whole project. $800,000 for the building only. The board then estimates how much of this will be. in the case of a vocational School, paid for by the fed- eral government and how much remains to be paid for locally. For the Bayview ad- dition, the board asked the municipalities to raise by debentures $375,000 for the total project. the remainder of the cost to be paid for by the federal government. Next step is to hire an RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE 731mg architect to prepare detailed sketches. These sketches, for the first time. give some- thing firm on which to base estimates. 0n the basis of preliminary plans, the arch- itects for Bayview, Page a; Steele, estimated the cost of the building to be 51.035000, instead of the $800,000 esti- mated by the Department of Education. With addition of architects fees and furnish- ings. total cost of the entire project was estimated to be $1,238,000. This new amount was then approved by the Ontario De- partment of Education and by the federal government. However. when tenders for the building were opened Wide Differences Bayview S.S. Costs recently. low tender was 3998.000. instead of the $1.- 035.000 estimated by the architect. As this amount includes $23,965 federal sales tax, which will eventually be refunded to the board, this brought the estimated total cost of the project down to $1,200,000. The federal grant on the new estimated total cost will be $785,357, leaving $388,022 to be raised locally. As the board had already asked the municipalities to raise $375,000 through de- bentures. this leaves a fur- ther $13,000 to be raised. Earlier reports had indi- cated that a further $30,000 would be required. but this THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Oct. 8, 1964 17 RICHMOND HILL was sales had It was before final figures of sales tax and federal grant had been received. It is proposed now to meet the $13,000 additional cost out of the 1965 budget. In addition. the board may have to borrow the $23,965 sales tax late in 1965 to cover the period between when it has to be paid and when it is refunded by the federal gov- ernment. Mr. Chapman emphasized that a close watch is kept on school construction costs. In Ontario it costs. on the aver- age, $2,200 to house each student in a composite school such as Bayview. The new Bayview addition shows 1 cost of approximately $2,- 300 per pupil, but this in STORES 884-4401 because the addition is 85‘7" vocational while the usu proportion is 50~50 between academic and vocational. .. Costs at Bayview have also- been increased slightly hi the necessity of enlarging. the heating plant to take: care of the additional space. Langstaff Secondary School. which provides aca- demic and commercial train- ing only, was erected for about $1,500 per pupil, well below the Ontario average of $1,900 for an academic school. It has also been built with oversize furnace room, cafeteria. gymnasium and office space an that these will require no alterh ation when the school in enlarged.
