PROTEST BY JOINERS
Brand Name In Tender
(N.Z Press Association) AUCKLAND, Oct. 18.
The New Zealand Joinery Manufacturers Federation objects to the specification of proprietary brands in local body and Government tenders.
The president (Mr T. A. Scrivener) said at the annual conference today that it was against the public interest to specify the brand of a particular article or product in a local body or Government tender.
A tender called recently by the Manukau City Council for pensioner flats at Otara had specified wooden joinery, he said. This had been later amended to aluminium joinery of a particular make. Mr W. J. Alford, of Auckland, said the manufacturers had objected to this- action and had asked the council for an explanation. Teh federation agreed to wait for a reply from the council before directing its protests to the Government.
