Such a consolidation "would be
extremely detrimental to the ultimate
working out of any satisfactory
plan," the board said. .. s
It . was declared that InBtead of

taxation,' as those hack of the plan
said tit- would do, such a consolida
tion would result in invalidation or
repudiation of more than $1,000,000
in bonds held by, Oregon residents
against University of Oregon prop

tho consolidation would mako nec
essary legislative appropriation of
several million dollars, for buildings
