SEDEY Medford Garden Club Judge Rules Building Contracting Illegal Grants Pass U.R) Circuit Judge O. J. Millard ruled here Friday that the practice of the Josephine county unit school board of doing its own building contracting was illegal. The ruling was made on peti tion of a group of Grants Pass contractors who cited a section of state law limiting the power of school boards and requiring expenditures of more than $2,000 to be placed for competitive bid ding. The school board recently built its own shop at Cave Junc tion at a cost of about $5,000. Ages of the 3,064 University of North Dakota students range from 16 to 67.
