MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, AtEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 19.10. ADVISES AGAINST PATCHIKHOOL L E. Wakcman Says City Needs Large, Modern School Building to Take the Place of the Present An tiquated Building on West Side. Since tho school bond election on Tuesday there has been considerable comment around town regarding the Washington school, many cltliens stating that Instead of patching It p that a modern school building should bo erected In Us place. L. E. WnV-nmnn. cashier ot the Farmers & Fruitgrowers bank, has furnished the following statement of his views. To tho editor: Will you please per mit me to express my opinion through your columns a3 to tho advisability of building an addition to the Wash ington school. I think the school board will make a grave mistake to attempt to remodel an antiquated mnd out-of-date school building such as this. It is only a costly temporary expedient, as there will bo as great er greater need of more space Inside year, or possibly two at the outside. Putting In new heating plant and other chances to make the building aoro sanitary Is good policy; any further expense on this old building I consider poor policy. This city needs now a large, mod ern school building capable of taking tare of the needs of the future and do away with putting patches on old ones. The growth ot Medford has demonstrated that not only are tho "Washington school grounds totally inadequate as such, but that they are tn the wrong location for the pur pose. Wo ried new schools Instead of patches on old ones. The school board would do well to secure now an entire block of ground so to bo In readiness to e:ect a suitable school building next year to take the place ef the present Washington school, and sell tho present site or use It for other public purposes. I think the school board will leave them sclres open to severo criticism If they do otherwise. L. E. WAKEMAN. fiLAVIS' ATTORNEY IS REBUFFED BY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C, April 29. The Bnllinger investigation com mission today rebuffed Attorney Brandcis, representing Louis Glnvis, when it refused to allow him to de mand that Attorney-General Wick ersham to be called upon to produce documents showing the exact date bis famous summary was prepared. This summary was prepared by Wickersham at the request of Presi dent Taft and formed the basis of the president's letter exonerating Secretary Ballinger. The date of the summary is deem ed important by the "prosecution," which seeks to show that Wicker sham prepared tho summary after the president's letter had been writ ten.
