The Board told the library
group it it would set up its
contracts so the last $50,000
would not be needed until
the 1980-81 budget year, the
Board would appropriate
the money at that time.
The contract for five moni
toring units for the intensive
care wing of DupHn General
Hospital was awarded to
General Electric Co. of Char
lotte on ? bid of $24,197. This
was the second lowest bid,
the lowest being submitted
by C&W Electronics of Ape*
St $23,605. The reason for
the choice by the hospital
authority was that it already
had four units similar to the
ones offered by GE.
In other .action, the Board
reappointed Dallas Herring
of Rone Hill to the Board of
Trustees of James Sprout
Institute ?
The Board also approved
recommendations of the
