Friel, Sr., school director, and ex
chairman of the board, being present,
suggested that the school acre of
ground 'which he deeded over to Ray
Murray and wife and to go to their
children at their death, be condemned.
It is thought by some that as a guard
ian would have to be appointed for
the children and various other pro
ceedings gone through with that this
would be a very expensive proceed
ing and doubts whether the court in
cases of minor heirs and innocent par
ties would condemn the acre. Mr.
Friel refused to stand any of the cost
of the suit and declared that the dis
trict should stand the costs. He said
he would do the fair thing and stand
his share of the school tax, although
Mr. Friel has been promising for tne
past four years to give an acre of
ground to the school district and al
though he is very anxious to have the
Mt. Hood railway run through his 140
acre ranch and cut it in two, he re
fuses to keep the promises he han.
made the school district. He says it
would cut up his ranch too much to
give the district an acre of ground
across the road from the present loca
tion of the school house.
