County Could Select Own Apprais ers, He Says, In Explaining His Position Matter Will Bo Taken Up With Guard. Notification that Dr. George Parrish has offered to the military forces of the state, free from compensation or condition, the use of five acres of prop erty on East Thirty-third street North for the period of the war for encamp ment or training purposes, will be transmitted officially to the militia authorities by tho County Commis sioners. This was the decision of the Commis sioners yesterday, when they held that the matter was one m which they could not take the Initiative. They declined an offer of an option on the premises for one year with the privl lege of purchase for $50,000 at the end of that time on the ground that the County had no money which could be expended In this manner. Dr. Parrish said he was making his offer to the Commissioners, as the Na tional Guard could not ask such an accommodation from a private indi vidual, but could from the county. Position Is Explained. In a lengthy letter, in which Dr. Par rish explained his position to the board. attention was cal.ed to newspaper at tacks called forth by the offer of the property last week. They gave the impression, the physician asserted, that the National Guard did not require or desire additional accommodations for new military units and that $50,000 was grossly In excess of the value of the property. Dr. Parrish pointed out that Port land Is a military center, toa addl tlonal units are being added to the Guard all the. time, the latest being Diana for a sa'uadron of cavalry, and that It Is admitted generally that i training ground in the city of Port land would be of great advantage to militiamen living In this vicinity. Regarding the alleged extortionate price placed by Dr. Parrish on his property, the physician went on to say that he had asked well-known realty judges to appraise the property last week. Ivan Humason placed the value at $45,000, and H.-A. Holmes fig ured It was worth $18,000. Appraisal Left to County. That there would be no doubt of bis sincerity In the matter. Dr. Parrish of fered to allow the County Commis sioners, should i-ey deBire to take the option, to select appraisers of their own from the members of the Port land Realty Board to fix the price to be paid. To clarify the misconstruction or nis motives further. Dr. Parrish amended his proposal of last week, which of fered the use of nls property for a year with the condition that a noml- al sum be allowed tor wear ana to- . making the offer free from any condi tion and fo- the war period. The county was asked to submit the proposal to the general staff of the Oregon National Guard. The Commis sioners voted to file the letter and transmit the offer as requested. PERSONAL MENTION.
