Following a meeting here today of business men from the five districts affected, a second meeting has been called for Astoria. Tuesday, when an effort will be made to provide a solu tion for the amazing muddle in which the Union High School of Southwest ern Clatsop County finds itself. If this meeting is not successful five districts will have donated $18,000 cash for. Astoria's schools without re ceiving any return consideration and $2100 a year interest will be paid on bonds for a high school here, which will never be built. Involved In the muddle are an illegal election at Cannon Beach, as the result of which a Multnomah County Judge granted an injunction against the Boundary Board of the district count ing the vote, and charges that one School Director signed a petition be cause a revolver was held to his head. The five school districts of Seaside. Clatsop, Gearhart, Necanicum and Ecola, Cannon Beach, voted last May to creat a union high school district Seaside, as the central district, was to be the location of the school, but the five directors could not agree on the site, C. A. Woolfolk, Ecola, and Theo dore Caples. Necanicum, demanding the selection of the former Seaside mill. Alleging this to be a swamp and dangerous, the other three directors refused, offering to compromise on any other location. The petitions were cir culated to annul the district. In the resultant election last September the districts voted three to two in favor of dissolution. Of the three, one was Ecola, where it has been proved that the election results were announced after a hat had been used as a ballot box and that the polls were reopened to accommodate late voters, and the result then declared exactly the re verse. When voting to dissolve the voters believed each district would obtain its pro rata of the bonds according to tax able values for its school fund. Now they find the bond proceeds would be divided over the whole county, Astoria, which had no interest, obtaining the lion's share, while Seaside, which will have to contribute more than half the cost of the $35,000 issue, would obtain but a pittance in return. The purpose of the Astoria meeting is to try and srl Clatsop, the outstanding district, to lavor the school once more, then to have the Portland injunction made per manent, thus annulling the dissolution election and finally to force the Union School Board to agree on something. $1,750,000 Corporation Files. - SALEM.
