Alum Rock Premises.

 

Your Sub-Committee report that a letter has been received from Messrs Bailey Cox & Co asking whether the Bank are prepared to reconsider the question of making an offer to Mr Cornbill for immediate vacant possession of the shop occupied by him and adjoining the Alum Rock bank premises now in course of reconstruction.

 

Your Sub-Committee have instructed the General Manager to renew the offer of £50. 0. 0. to Mr Cornbill on immediate vacant possession of the shop being given, but having regard to the state in which the reconstruction now stands this offer is only to remain open for fourteen days.

Painting of Branches.

 

The General Manager has been instructed to arrange in future for outside painting of Branches to take place during the spring and summer and that only inside painting be carried out in the winter. Your Sub-Committee have also reviewed the list of firms to undertake this work, and are of opinion that the best method would be to invite the selected firms to tender in turn in groups of three for such painting work at the respective Branches, when required. They recommend accordingly, and that the Chairman with the General Manager be empowered to accept a suitable tender in each case, reporting their action to your Sub-Committee from time to time.

 

The following tenders for painting at the undermentioned Branches have been accepted:

 

 

Finance & General Purposes Sub-Committee: February 20th 1939
