Instead of selecting sites for the proposed new Couch and Shattuck school buildings, the School Board designated 4 o'clock next Monday as the time when arguments would be heard in behalf of the various proper ties, preceding the announcement of the official selections of the Board, which may be made at the same meet ing. Yesterday had been appointed as the date for the hearing but George W. Thomas, president of the South Port land Boosters' Club, requested that the decision of the Board be withheld until after the people of South Portland had met tomorrow night and recommended one particular site to the Board.. Charles H. Dodd, a member' of the School Board from 1884-1889 and a resident of the Shattuck school dis trict, entered strong objection against the purchase of any new school prop erty in that locality. Present Bite Is TJra-ed. "What's the use of buying any of these expensive blocks when we already have good property where the present Shattuck school stands? he asked. "There is plenty of room in the old and unused Failing building and elsewhere to take care of the chil dren while a new building is being erected on the present Sattuck site. 'Why allow this spirit of extrava gance to go on from day to day when the taxes are already so high? Put a good school on the present Shattuck site and the taxpayers will thank you." I think he Is right," commented Mr. Thomas. The school is now located on the block bounded by Fifth, Sixth, Hall and Harrison streets. Dr. Sommer moved that the discus sion and decision on the school sites be deferred until next Monday and the motion prevailed over the objection of Director Hummer and Charles War rens, of the Couch district. Conch Decision Vrgced. Mr. Warrens thaught that the Couch selection Bhould be threshed, out im mediately, inasmuch as the people of that district had some time ago ex pressed their choice as to location. 'Ever since these options began coming in several weeks ago we have been receiving new bids which, have pruned the former quotations quite materially, said Chairman Sabin. "And I believe that by waiting we have been making money for the district as fast as possible. "This intense feeling of rivalry and interest that has been manifest in these two school districts since the consideration of these sites oame up is one of the most encouraging signs I have seen in a long time. Right at the time some hasty words may be exchanged between the competing ASK TOtTS OBOC CRKSCENT MFG. CO.. Seattle. Wri. forces, but these will eventually pass off as happy incidents."

Stamp Givwa Anaoeiatea Oil Company, of California, Falls to Obtain Exemptions and Attorney Announces Appeal. Multnomah County and the State of Oregon may tax accounts receivable of foreign corporation on business done in this county and state. Circuit Judge McOlnn ruled yesterday In the appeal taken by the Associated Oil Company, of California, from the decision of the board of equalization which refused to allow the company any exemptions. At torney Erskine Wood who argued the case for the oil company, announcea after Judge McGinn's ruling that an appeal would be taken to the Supreme Court Objection to the assessment of the accounts made through the Portland representative of the company was made on the ground that the contracts for the sale of the company's output is finally approved and filled at the San Francisco office, where all bills are payable: that the local representative has only limited authority, and acts merely as an agent of the company. The company made no objection to payment of taxes on $20,000 worth of tangible property in the state, but contended that the tax assessed by Mr. Reed on JS0.000 notes and accounts should be exempt in Oregon. Similar accounts involving approxi mately $250,000 were assessed last year by Mr. Reed, to wnicn an appeal proD ably would have been taken tiad Judge McGinn allowed the exemption. Mr. Reed said that he expects no further objections from such property holders. CARD OPTHAXKS.
