Mackenzie
school
Board
to
negotiate
for
additional
cash
The
school
board
faces
afresh
round
of
negotiations
with
the
department
of
education
on
a
proposed
secondary
school
In
Mackenzie
That
was
the
conclusion
reached
Tuesday
after
the
board
heard
a
report
from
architect
Des
Parker
on
bids
for
con
construction
¬
struction
of
the
350
student
school
The
board
will
try
to
seek
ap
approval
¬
proval
from
Victoria
for
a
school
that
will
cost
1000000
Instead
of
the
850000
allowed
The
school
was
scheduled
to
open
Dec
31
but
it
appears
un
likely
that
it
can
be
ready
by
that
time
When
tenders
were
first
re
received
¬
ceived
last
week
the
lowest
came
from
II
Erlckson
and
Son
of
Prince
George
with
a
bid
of
1000000
As
the
board
can
finance
only
an
8JO000
project
the
school
was
retendered
the
gymnasium
being
omitted
The
lowest
bid
for
the
class
room
block
again
came
from
Erickson
this
time
for
729000
The
department
of
education
es
estimate
¬
timate
on
cost
of
the
classroom
block
was
000000
Parker
said
that
when
costs
were
broken
down
it
was
found
that
work
involving
prefabricated
units
came
within
the
estimates

was

today
following
a
brief

service
at

Mr

who
spent
a
lifetime
outdoors
working
as
a
trapper
guide
freighter
and
tra

¬
der
in
the
river
systems
of
the
Rocky
Mountain
Trench
north
of
Prince
George
died
last
week
end
at
the
age
of
61
For
more
than
40
years
the
name
Van
Somer
has
been
asso
ciated
with
freighting
on
the
Pack
Crooked
Parsnip
Peace

vided
transportation
for
trappers
engineers
big
game
hunters
politicians
surveyors
and
auth

¬
ors
At
the
time
of
his
death
he
op
operated
¬
erated
the
trading
post
at
Fort
Ware
on
the
Finlay
River
which
he
bought
In
I960
following
the
death
of
another
well
known
trap
trapper
¬
per
and
trader
of
the
Trench
Ben
Cork
Born
in
Whitehorse
in
1910
Mr
Van
Somer
came
to
Prince
George
with
his
family
In
1914
Plumbing
masonry
and
elec
electrical
¬
trical
work
which
involved
con
considerable
¬
siderable
on-the-site
labor
were
the
costly
items
Contractors
had
to
accommo
accommodate
¬
date
their
tradesmen
in
Macken
Mackenzie
¬
zie
Parker
reminded
the
board
In
addition
they
considered
it
a
troubled
area
laborwise
Trustees
accepted
Ross
Craigies
motion
that
they
ac
accept
¬
cept
the
Erickson
bid
of
720
000
for
the
classroom
block
This
however
Is
subject
to
the
approval
of
the
department
I
dont
know
where
well
go
If
they
say
weve
got
to
have
the
classroom
block
for
G50-
000
said
Cralgie
I
really
dont
The
board
also
agreed
to
ne
gotiate
with
the
department
and
Erickson
for
a
cheaper
gym
that
would
not
boost
the
total
pro
ject
above
1009000
Parker
said
the
gym
can
be
redesigned
This
would
mean
eliminating
4000
square
feet
area
above
changing
rooms
that
could
have
been
used
as
a
sec
secondary
¬
ondary
gym
and
which
In
a
re
remote
¬
mote
area
like
Mackenzie
would
be
nice
to
have
Chuck
Truscott
and
Bob
Af
Affleck
¬
fleck
felt
this
space
important
so
the
gym
could
be
of
more
use
to
the
community
