ADDED BUILDINGS SOUGHT 18 lressmakirig in Music Hall, TfTViday ' Organization, KIrst of Kind in City, f'ocicles to Request Units Costing Arar $300,000 in Connec tion With New .Structure. Residents of the South East Side will ask the Board of Education to provide for the erection of additional buildings In connection with the Franklin High School for next year at an estimated i-OKt of from 2;o.OOO to 300.ooo. These buildings are said to be absolutely nec essary to take care of the attendance at thicr High School noxt year, when the iirst unit will be completed. remond for the additional building's took form yesterday at a largely at tended meeting in the Creston school iiouse. Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens pre sided. The first business was the organiza tion of the Franklin High School Parent-Teacher Association, the first of the sort in Portland, with the follow ing officers: President. Mrs. J. 1 Chapman, of Richmond School; first vice-president. Principal ' S. F. Ball; second vice-president, Mrs. J. Glass; third, vice-president, J. Johnson: secre tary. Mrs. Bell Ober; treasurer. Miss M. t:. Bettz; auditor. Miss Ruba- H. Jfammarstroum. - Mr. Baker Offers Hl Services. Commissioner George L.. Baker spoke briefly, offering his services to the community. He urged the Importance of the proposed new Franklin High School on which work had been started and predicted that it would be one of the largest in Portland, Kev. W. T. S. fiprlggs spoke for the new high school, which he declared ought to be com pleted soon. Mrs. Chapman, the newly-elected president of the association, said one of the first efforts of the association should be to urge the early completion of the long-delayed high school. On her request. Principal Ball, of the Franklin High School, outlined the present situation and difficulties of the school. - ."Our enrollment and attendance is SUO students." said Mr. Ball, "and these are housed at the Creston building, the llenc-o and in a store three different placed. Hero at the Creston we have in some of the rooms as many as . 64 deuks. whereas there is room for only 4u students. There are noise and con nisiou, both for the students of the high school and grammar departments, as the students move from one -room to another, and during recess, and when, the assembly hall is used for gymna sium puposes. " Future Crowding; Is Foreseen. "Our students of the high school de partment now occupy 24 rooms. When the first unit of the new Franklin High School is finished next March it will contiiin 0 rooms, all of which will then be filled and overcrowded. We shall have no assembly hall, no gymnasium and, no manual training at the new building, only the 30 classrooms. "We wil then be as much crowded as we are at present- I have recommend ed that these additional buildings be provided next year, and also that the srounds be graded and sidewalks laid. We have been doing the best we could here under the difficulties, which you must realize are great. I don't know how much these additional buildings lll cost, but probably $250,000." - After hearing the situation it was decided to urge the Board of Education to provide for these additional build ings at once. George Baker; G. K. Berry. Rev. W. T. S. Spriggs and Mrs. Belle Ober were appointed a special committee to confer with the board at once. ROAD INJUNCTION ENDS CRKW ClTTIBiCi GRADE THROl'GH M'RBBER I.AMJ I DM: HALF DAY. JtidKC Morrow Rules County Cannot Be Compelled to Condemn and Sug Bents Appeal From Viewers. Sarins: that the remedy was an ap peal from the action of the viewers and ' that the county could not be forced to condemn. Circuit Judge Morrow yester day dissolved the temporary injunction-granted Mrs. Rosa Webber tying up the improvement of the Capitol Highway, formerly the Slavin road. The temporary injunction was granted by residing Judge Gatcns the day pre vious with the proviso that the case be tried immediately. Only half a day -.was lost from work by Roadmaster Veon's crew. To eliminate a ba-d grade the county is cutting a new grade near Bertha, through property owned by Mrs. Web ber. The regular county road viewers provided for by law allowed her J100. She wants $1500 and started the in junction suit to force the county to condemn. Judge Morrow held that to construe the statute providing that the county "may inaugurate condemnation pro ceedings" as mandatory practically would destroy the jurisdiction of the County Court in road matters. . The property through which the county is cutting is assessed at $250 an acre and the county is taking con siderably less than a half acre. Mrs. Webber contends, however, that the new road cuts right through a choice building site, hence her demand for heavy damages. NEW ROAD DISTRICT DENIED County Commissioners' Act as Basis for Friendly Suit to Settle Laws. As a basis for a mandamus suit to Ktraighten out conflicting road legisla tion, the County Commissioners yester day signed an- order refusing to make Portland a separate road district. The petition was presented by William K. Brady, a taxpayer. Friendly suit will be brought bv Dis trict Attorney Evans in the Supreme Court to compel the Commissioners to reverse this attitude. The conflict lies in two acts passed by the Legislature at its last session within a few hours of each other, the first providing that incorporated -lt.. and towns must be made into separate road districts, and the second provid ing for redisricting at the option of County Courts, but making no pro vision for incorporated towns. Gresham to Secure Xrw Teacher. ORES HAM, Or.,. Oct. 6. (Special.)

Sixth Street clMaIu The other afternoon I was talk ing to a very dear little friend of mine a sweet girl of about ten. And we talked at random for a while about school and music les sons and where to get the reddest Autumn leaves and suddenly she danced about and said: "Oh, I'm so happy you see Santa Claus will have an easy time this year our fireplace is s-o-o big!" And I thought, "Santa Claus! why, dear me, it surely isn't time for him to come around again is it?" I went home and looked it up and do you realize it is just a little more than two months before he will come? And you people that have to help Santa select his gifts will you be ready? Then I began a little tour of in vestigation around the big M. & F. Store, with a view to picking up little things suitable and acceptable as gifts. And oh, there are so many. There are always exquisite bits of handwork to be made and in the same department are pretty little trays and covers for a glass of water or milk and just dozens of things that I shall have to wait until another day to talk about because there isn't any more room today for TTT i Have you been asking for plush Qoat- They're just in! and smart they are, too!
