SCHOOL BUILDINGS
'COSTING TOO MUCH
Members; Take Cognizance
of Situation and' Remedy
May Be Sought.
Protest against the extravagant ex
penditure of public school funds, wdilch
has been voiced frequently by taxpay
ers, seems to be bearing fruit.
Aiemoers of the school board are
taking the position that the cost of
school buildings must be reduced. In
the past the cost of new buildings has
soarea to ngurea which Chairman M.
O. Munly of the school board declares
are outrageous;
Just now ths board is getting ready
to spend 1200,000 on buildings for the
Benson polytechnic for boys. Plans
were prepared by School Architect F.
A. Naiamort and bids nave been re
ceived. These bids, according to Di
rector S. P. Lookwood. indicate that
the cost of the contemplated buildings.
wm go considerably Higher than $200,
00. Buildings Cost Too Kaon.
At a special meeting of the board
Monday afternoon Director Lockwood
moved that the board employ a con
sulting architect to assist Mr. Nara
more with the. plans for the Benson.
This is considered to be the first step
in the movement to hold down the Cost
of this school. The matter was re
r erred to the ' building and grounds
committee, which will meet at 4 o'clock
this afternoon to consider it. The mem
bers of this committee are Directors
O. M. Plummer and Alan Welch Smith.
As Dr. Smith is ill. Director Lockwood
will serve in his place today.
A. special committee of the board
has been making investigation into the
expenditures for buildings.
: "My Investigations lead me to be
lieve that our school buildings have
been costing too much per room," said
Mr. Lockwood. He said this applied
particularly to the type of buildings
constructed.
Chairman - Munly referred to the
Kenton school building as being ."the
limit" of extravagance. He said that
was the building which "put the cli
max" on the soaring expenditures.
"Of course the building is superbly
beautiful," he said, "and It cost about
$12,000 a room."-
The total cost of the Kenton building
was $74,167. It has six diss rooms,
an assembly - hall and f lvo smaller
rooms, such as principal's office,
teachers rest ' (oom and - auxiliary
rooms." '. '-. -,
Other Instances Cited.
Chairman Munly pointed to the
Hoffman and Glenhaven schools and
Lincoln high school as other Instances
Of extravagance in school construc
tion. He said two - and three story
fireproof buildings were put up, when
for Hoffman and Glenhaven one story
buildings would have been cheaper and
Just as serviceable. : At both places, he
said there Is ample ground for one
story bulldingife
.The Hoffmin. which has eight class
rooms and principal's office, cost $71.
828. The Qlenhaven, which has s&
class rooms and four other rooms, cost
$61,070. '
"We should be able to put up school
buildings at a cost of $$500 to $4000 a
room," . declared . Chairman Munly.
"Other districts in Oregon are putting
up school buildings for less than that."
Mr. Narramore, the school architect,
said if he were doing the Work now
he would recommend a dlferent type
ouiiaing ior jnorrman.
-We can put up buildings like barns,
if the board wants- them," he said.
"But school buildings should be some
thing that weald not be like a car
buncle on, the community.
A. C. Barker, superintendent of the
Oakland, CaL schools, told the school
board that his district had put up a
very serviceable and comfortable
school building of 10 rooms for $4000
a room. . ,

NOTE GIVEN IS USURIOUS
Court Intimates Trom Beneh That Xs
. w such Xndlvldnal as One warned
as Psyee Exists.
That loan sharks, operating tinder an
alias, will find little sympathy in his
court was Indicated today by District
Judge -Bell when the suit of E. E.
Ware against Alexander C McBaln
came up for hearing.
Ware caused the arrest of McBaln
on a charge of . forgery in connection
with a loan of $25. It is charged by
the loan broker that McBaln signed the
name of another person to the note,
and et the same time' it is admitted
that Ware -was to collect usurious in
terest. McBaln promised to pay $5 foe
the, use of the $25 for 60 days, or a
rate of 10 per cent a month..
The note on which Ware Is suing
was given to J, Richards. There is
considerable doubt in the minds of the
court and attorneys whether such a
person as Richards exists? It was openly
intimated from the bench that Ware
is doinf business at S08 Falling build
ing under an alias. He has been con
victed of usury and the case Is now
pending In the supreme court on ap
peal. "Who Is J. Richards?" questioned
Judge Bell.
None was able to answer. .
McBaln 'was released on his own
recognizance.
According to the story told by Mc
Baln and confirmed by Constable Andy
Weinberger, the borrower lost his job
soon after negotiating the loan from
Ware. He has a wife and four chil
dren to support and could not make
good on-the payments as they came
due on the note. He went to Ware
last Saturday and renorted that he had
made arrangements to go to work, but
tne loan broker is charged with threat'
ening to "get his Job" or any other
job he might find.

AS A RESULT OF AN
EARNEST CAMPAIG
Public Safety Commission
Gets Satisfactory Report
of What Has Been Done.
4-
Fire risk in Portland has been re
duced to a fraction of what It
been In any previous year.
The results of one year's organized
fire prevention were reviewed yester
day by th public safety commission.
It was . shown that wnere 1 liv
were destroyed by fire in 114, but
one life was lost from fire In lilt.
Where there were 183 false alarms
In 114, there were but 11 in 1915, and
In the last eight months, it was, stated,
there have been but six false alarms.
Fire Xiosses Shown,
During the last six months of 191S
the results of fire prevention were
particularly noticeable. The losses
from fire during the first six months
of 1915 totaled $890,197 and bat $898.-
888 for the second six months, show
ing a total of $1,289,085 for the year
as compared with fl,lSS,46Z tne first
six months of 1914. SS18.Z70 the sec
ond six months and $1,806,722 for the

ducted, a resolution of appreciation
and gratitude.
A lessening In the number of acci
dents on the streets was recorded In
