"The board will have to decide, of course, he said, fbut I presume, that a block of about $1,000,000 will be ad vertised. Money is needed for our va rious projects, the Grant high! school. Chapman school, Holladay school, and additions to Kenton and Gregory Heights schools." The board will not convene before its regular meeting Wednesday night, ac cording to present plans. Shull and his associates expressed themselves as much pleased at the outcome: of the appeal to the supreme court, especially aa they had been severely, criticised in an interview printed in an afternoon paper for appealing the case rather than taking the opinion of experts who held differently than Wood St Oakley. The man who gave the interview. local bond dealer, declared the supreme court would not. hand down a de cision before spring. This is the history of the case: The school board advertised for bids on a block of 1300,000 in bonds. Ladd Tilton's bank, noting -with Eastern dealers, were successful bidders. Their bid. however, was subject to "approval of their attorneys." Wood A . Oakley, their attorneys, held against the bonds and the bid was cancelled. t This situation became known at the board meeting the night of November 15. Local bond dealers, accenting the opinion of Teal, Minor 6c Winf ree, oPrt- lana attorneys, announced that they were ready to take the bonds) but their bids did not meet the approval of the school board and that body decided to appeal the ease to the supreme court by means of a friendly suit, getting a decision Just as quickly as possible, so tnat the bonds could be advertised without any smirch of irrespectability upon them.
