AID OF CONSULTING v ARCHITECT SECURED - BY SCHOOL BOARD Folger Johnson Employed; A Committee of Chapter Will - Also Assist in Work. ; JOHNSON'S SALARY $1000 Xxjwrts to otr Barrloa in ITfspara , tioa of nuw for Vtw Btnion - Polytechnic School. ; : In Uh preparation of tb plana f or he nw Benson Polytechnic ' school, ttaa chod board will' have both a consult ing rafohftect and the services of a committee of three from the Oregon chapter of the American Institute of Architects. . , At a meeting yesterday afternoon the board employed Folger Johnson a consulting- architect, and at the same time accepted an offer from the Institute of the services of a commutes of three. Johnson is to be paid $1009. - .A week ago when the board author teed' the employment of Johnson, jmuch comment arose among: the architects of the city, as it was said Johnson was not experienced In that . line . of work. Out of this discussion devel oped the suggestion that the Oregon chapter of the American Institute of Architects would render the ' school board assistance In a public service of this 'kind. Matter Is Vresested. &. M. Plummer, chairman' of the school board : building committee, pre sented the matter . to W. 3. Holford, president of the Oregon chapter. It Is reported that Johnson, who is a mem ber -of the chapter, made protest against the chapter interfering - with his job. .. Anyway, it-was a rather deli cate situation for the chapter, which was willing to render the school board whatever service It could. ; The-outcome was that at a commit tee meeting1 Tuesday nlgbtilt was de cided for the board to employ Johnson at a salary of v 11000 to consult with School Architect P, A. Naramore, and the chapter would appoint a commit tee of three to review the schemes to be outlined by the two architects. " Mr. Johnson was employed on the recommendation f A. E. Ioyle, a prominent architect. ; Mi; Ioyle him self would not Accept the employment, but the understanding exists among the school directors that Doyle is : to : assist Johnson in bis capacity as con sulting architect ' . . As the chapter committee Is to be only a committee of review. Director 8, P. Lockwood said it was necessary to employ a consulting architect If any changes in the plana already prepared by Naramore, school architect, are to be expected. The expressed purpose Is to obtain a substantial building at less cost than that calle3 for by Nara more's plans. '..: ;vj '. - Plan Zs Suggested. - The executive - committee of the chapter of architects suggested a plan 'of procedure in the following resolu tion, which It adopted: Kesoived, That the executive com mittee, on behalf of the chapter, thank the school board for the opportunity to assist in their work for the mihiio welfare, and wishes to assure them of Its .desire to assist them in so far as it may be possible, t To this end the chapter begs to suggest the following method of procedure, believing it to be me memoct oest suited to securing a First, that the school board or committee of the same prepare a pro gram, giving requirements of the school as to number of pupils to be accommodated and a tentative course i studies to ds given. - Second, that the chapter appoint an advisory committee of three members to assist the school board.
