At Friday eveuuis's hearing of charges filed against the department of proierties of Portland's school district abundant testimony vras given and corroborated that district employes had been engaged in promoting the reelection of George B. Thomas on school time. Below Is a fac , simile of an authorization slip bearing Director Thomas' signature naming C. A. McBaln as his representative in school precinct 62. McBain further testified that be, at the direction of a superior, had, on school district time, collected funds from other school district employes to reimburse George B. Thomas for a portion of his campaign expenses, that Thomas had refused to accept the money and that it had been returned to the donors. Reproduced above are facsimiles of four receipts taken by McBaln when the money was returned. The receipts are signed by H. Peterson, S. R. Sinclair, J. G. Tate and F. G. Nichols. These four testified at Friday's hearing, three of them to the fact that McBain and his companion had solicited them during school hours. man A. C meetings. , Director George P. Eiaman, , when asked as to hia impression- of the situ ation after the first two nights of the hearing, said that he wished to reserve judgment until the defense has been heard. - . 4 WA5T8 BEST SEKTICE' "It is my desire to see every depart ment function with good business Judg ment, consistent with the best Interests ,of public service.' said Eiaman. "This is my one desire. I have nothing per sonal in the matter at all and am ready to go to work and subscribe to any proposition that will advance public in terest. I am vitally interested in the well being of our schools In every way, and it is my desire that they function properly and correctly to the best te rests. I am ready for any suggestions that can be made." -r Director W. F. Woodward had the following to say Saturday: 'iy view Is that this inquiry thus far has been productive of good ; that it will lead to a closer attention, if such a thing is possible,- of the board and each and every director to the details of our school administration. COMMENDS SHfLL "I think our responsibility to the com munity, deeply as .we have felt it in the past, will, if anything, be intensified and that out of it will come good to theT everyetie concerned, no matter what the ! final verdict may be. "I want to commend Director, Shull for moving in the matter, although I believe I express the view of each di rector when I say that he would have had the united and sincere cooperation of the board, no matter how far he had gone In placing hia impressions before us. We have cooperated with him and are anxious to atiQ. The only difference between us baa arisen from the feeling he was placing us in an attitude of self-defense. .There is yet to be beard what is to be said in defense, and it would be unfair to make any conclusive statement until then." ' The defense will present its case next Friday night. I Cupid Lands Another In- ! T .v Tl -i.

Mileage was charged and collected from the taxpayers at the rate of 8 cents for each mile, spent in traveling from school to school, while school district employes sought to collect money and line up teachers for Thomas' campaign. A Portland school principal was threatened by Thomas following the election because he hadn't worked for him. the director telling him he "could take the consequences." Since the creation of the depart ment of properties, 43 or more than one-half of the old employes have been discharged. Many of thoe have worked from 10 to 15 years for the district, and have established reputation for their efficiency and skill. Old employes discharged from the shops were told It was "to reduce expenses." Those discharged to reduce ex--penses were selected without regard to seniority or the fact that they were married and had families to Support. Names are now on the pay roll of men more recently 'employed and who are single. Employes, whose ability Is excep tional, have been summarily dis charged "for the good of the ser vice." No other reason has beep given them. One of these, James Stanyon, Janitor of Washington high school for many years, who is backed by virtually every teacher in the school, when he pressed his superior for the reason was told. "I tell you It Is politics. G. B. said you had to go." Mrs. Dora KlmbalL assistant in the Lincoln high school cafeteria, could not even learn that much. Her superior. Miss Mary Baird. was merely told by George Spencer, the new supervisor of cafeterias, that she "had to get rid of her." New positions have been created and salaries fixed by the department of; properties, of which the board was I not notified, in some instances until five weeks later, viz : James Watt, appointed supervisor of general work on Buckman school, July 7, board notified November 12. R B. Bromwall, Marysville school, appointed September 1, board noti fied November 12. George L. Spencer, supervisor of cafeterias, appointed October 7, board notified November 12. Reports that were to have been made by the properties department, according to the plan by which the department waa created, from time to time, have never been furnished. Total expense of operating work done by department in 1920 was $14,907. In 1921. it was $28,571.
