Ingersoll Town Council may have a case of CAT-scratch fever. They're catching heat from the CAW Local 88 and Oxford Regional Labour Council, who are demanding council not approve the purchase of a Caterpillar-built back hoe. The tender for a new back-hoe with snowblade came in with CAT holding the lowest bid at 89-thousand dollars. This, as union officials are still seething over Caterpillar's closure of London's Electro Motive Plant this month, putting over 450 CAW workers out of a job, including 16 from Ingersoll. However, council's purchasing by-law mandates the town take the lowest bid on a project, as long as it meets all the specifications. After hearing presentations from the local union, and mindful of a CAT representative watching from the gallery, council opted to defer making a decision. They'll revisit the issue at next month's meeting.
