MANDAMUS
ARCHITECTS DEMAND
SIIRVELL REPORT
BE GIVEN TO PUBLIC
Mandamus proceedings will be instituted in the state circuit
court today or tomorrow to force the school board of district No. 1
to make public the report of Architect Summervcll, who acted as
the jury in selecting the design of the new Albina High school.
Attorney V. L. Brewster has been employed to conduct the legal
proceedings bv the following local architects, all of whom submit
ted plans in the competition contest: Ernest Kroner, Clausen &
Clauser, Kablc & Kablc and Hermes. Hendricks & Tobey. The
architects filing the suit take the position that the report of Archi
tect Sumnu'rvcll is a public document, that it was paid for with
public funds the board having paid Mr. Summervell $2R0 to come
to Portland, pass upon the plans and make the awards and that
they have a legal right to inspect it. They also declare that the
school board is violating the law when it refuses to make public
the report, and is probably liable to prosecution.

In discussing: the proposed mandamus
proceedings Architect Kroner made the
following explanation: "Representing a
number of the competing- architects in
the High school contest I made on ef
fort to see the report of Mr. Summer
veil. I applied at the office of the
school clerk, where the records of the
school district and the proceedings of
the board are supposed to be kept open
for public inspection and was told that
a member of the board had the report
in htn r.nckpt.- J then went before the
board In open meeting and requested
that I ba allowed to see the report and
T-HS put off with the promise that the
matter would be taken. up the next day
and decided. This was two weeks ago
and having ha4 no report as to the re
sult of the board's deliberations we de
cided to bring suit and find out if pub
lic officials in Oregou hud the right to
suppress public documents."
