REJECTIONS OF GERMAN TENDER
CAPE TOWN MUNICIPALITY’S ACTION iUPA.— By Elrtcfric IHegrauh-Cooyi ight’ CAPE TOWN, 10th June. A German plenipotentiary is directing the attention of newspapers and public bodies to a complaint he lodged with the Government against the Cape Town municipality’s rejecting German tenders for cabled and copper wire, though they were considerably lower. The municipality, however, accepted British and Dutch tenders. He states that discrimination against German tenders seriously affects the exchange of goods, and asks the reason for the rejection of German tenders.
The chairman of the electricity committee states that the rejection was in accordance with the wish of the majority of the council, who, for obvious reasons, decided to give British and South African manufacturers ten per cent, preference, even more if justified.
