The Biddeford School Building committee faces disagreement over who should cover labor taxes and insurance on high school work. Contractor Raymond A. Plante claims 14 to 15 percent extras cover social security and workers compensation, while Mayor Clement H. Deschambault says the city should not pay. Bills range from 11.38 to 93.61 with a Portland trip bill of 11.07 deemed unauthorized. A Tuesday meeting in the mayor’s office will decide, as Plante argues bonuses accounted for the variance. Also discussed were welding hood, a cafeteria meal for parents, and shutter sales at the Junior High. Portioned note: the passage of extras was disputed.
