G. Munly of the Portland district school board denies that he Is In favor of the school board's turning over to the city ths old Lincoln High school property at Fourtenth and Al- der as a site for the proposed new audi- torlum.

In discussing the plan proposed by the Greater Portland Plana associa tion. Judge Munly expressed himself as follows: . ' "I wish to correct the Impression that, as a member of the board of di rectors of school district No. 1, I am In favor of the movement to turn over the old Lincoln high school block, on Fourteenth and Morrison, to the city for the construction of an auditorium. "I am distinctly of the opinion, that the officers of the district cannot trans fer this property to the city for such purpose; neither can they enter Into any partnership ararngement with the city or any other municipal corporation for the divided use of the property. By the defeat of the school bond issue a year ago, the district is behind II, 000,000 in actual needs for school pur poses. From every quarter of the city, there Is an urgent demand for additional srounda and enlareed school facilities. Even the very high tax levy made this year will not go half way around in meeting these' demands. It Is my opln- Ion that the old Lincoln high school and other school grounds not In use ar anmtii which outht to be turned into cash upon the first favorable op- nnrtnnltv to meet these ursrent school ! " needs. "The people have twice voted on bond Issues for an auditorium and declined to enlarge the fund. The fund voted for this1 purpose is ample to construct an auditorium and purchase grounds. Such grounds can be had on the east side. Denver built its auditorium for six hun- jred thirteen thousand dollars; Milwau- ared thirteen thousand dollars; Milwau- kee for less than b!x hundred thousand aouars; ana tsu Jraui ror a sum Deiween , four and five hundred thousand dollars. I Unless directed by a further vote of the people, on this question, I would not favor the arrangement proposed by the Greater Portland Plans association."

' PORTLAND, .WEDNESDAY PORTLAND THIS VEEK LocahPoMofficd Has Biggest " Period of History; Majl Is Stacked' High.;.' - Delivering 1,000,000 Parcels. - Mrtland postofflce employes, are delivering this week to real dents of the city, 1,000,000 par- eels, according to Postmaster Frank S. Myers, who says his ea- tlmate, after a careful lnvestlga- tlon, was a conservative one. Many of these parcels, said Mr. Myers, are being delivered today. and the greater bulk of this huge figure will have been handled on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day. A stack of Wall sacks crammed full of parcels, over 10 feet high and almost 100 feet long. Illustrated vividly today lust why this is the busiest season the Portland postoffice haa ever known. This assortment was located alongside tho Vuilding housing the mailing divi sion of the local postoffice at Fifth and Gllsan streets, and it was plaoed there only after every available cranny Inside had been filled and barely enough room had been left for the large fore of men to work in. - Two huge train loads of mail from (-the east, each bringing almost as much as arrived all day Monday caused a -congestion that almost caused the office to be swamped. In' addition to the large force of men at the mailing division, where every available clerk who could find a place to workwas used, the reg ular and extra force at the main office was worked all night. Kaealtita An Kmwt. , ... , In addition to the tremendous volume! of parcels, work In the local office was complicated by the fact" that 600.000 nlAOAtt r f I o f Mlflaa mall Ann .t.tl m a.

The majority ! 0f the pieces Included In this consisn" .ment were Christmas postcards. postoffice receipts yesterday were $6248.38, a decrease of almost 12000 from the day before, and stamp sales today were almost normal. The big business of the Christmas season will, however, Chief Clerk Hurst states, swell the total for the month to $125. 000. Total receipts so far this month are more than $104,000.
