SeIf-StyIed Citizens School
Committee Fails to Deter
Action of Board.

Attempts of the .self-styled citi-
zens' school committee to delay the
building program Of the board OF
school commissioners failed today.
Edgar H. Evans and J. w. Ather
ton, representing the OrGa nizat ton
appeared before the board and asked
that no steps be taken to carry out
the program for a week or ten days.
The board refused the request and
expressed a determination to go
ahead with the program as formu
lated last week.

school board. The organization was
composed largely of members ot the

fought school building construction
throughout 1921.

supporters in favor of the immediate
erection of new school buildings

before the discussion ended it became
apparent that objections to the Sc

gineers probably would he made.
Commissioner Emhardt, chairman
OF the buildings and grounds com
mittee, said he was not in favor Of
q delay of ten minutes.
Already We have been severely
criticized for being in office almost
ten months without going ahead with

now I want to see some action
This committee Of citizens knows
or should have known all about this
building program and should have ap-
peared here long before this. It is
high time architects were selected
and the situation requires just as
quick action as we can give it"
Considerable i'll feeling developed
during the discussion and there was
Zsro little buck passing" among the
<sboard members as to just where the
responsibility for the long delay in
inaugurating a building program
should rest.
Donald Graham was selected as
architect for the shop building to be
erected at Yandes and Sixteenth Sts.
The appointment Of Jacob Hilkene
as inspector Of construction, which
was agreed upon at a committee meet
