Twenty , men who composed the party

was feared f or, a time that they would
have to give up their expedition on

completed the "French map" as far as

of land 120 miles, long. This region Is

"No cltixen of Portland outside the

of those books," declared Mr. : Kroner.
"Millions of dollars have been received
and paid . out. . yet tho record of the
Income and expenditures, which are th
property of the public, has been re-"

! "I have not any spite against the
school board or Its membeis.' I am act
ing as a citixe'n. When: I found that
I could build brick school building
in outside towns 25 per cent cheaper
than wooden buildings are erected in
Portland, I determined that it was high
time we taxpayers should know what
was becoming of our money. If the
school ' board has . been dealing fairly
by us,! the. Investigation will prove the
board's vindication. It is our right un
der; any circumstances - to' know what
the board his been doing."" Y
Mr. Kroner and associate architects,
members of the Portland Architectural
club, have put their case into the hands
of Attorney John A. Jeffrey. inBtruct
ing him to inaugurate an investigation,
to-be voluntarily, submitted to by the
school board, if possible, -and If not to
put it Into the liands of tho grand Jury
for a formal . Inquisition.. . . ,' : ''
"There- are many things connected
with the. present school board's administration,-especially

have statements which have been sworn
