OF Mr.. Ashford's allegations. 1t was
brought out that the quaint Con-
gressionaI custom of pairing school
estimates to the bone made law
breakers, not only Of the Board OF
Education, but the Engineer Com
missioner, the District auditor and
the municipal architect as well.
Only Half the Story
Mr.. Ashford's principal charge
was that the board has diverted
money from the school repair fund
to other uses. But, the school
board stated, that was only half of
the story
According to Ernest Greenwood.
acting president Of the board, who
made the most bitter attack upon
Ashford, the school board has gone
repeatedly on record against the
practice, in which it has been often
involved, of using part of the re-
pair fund for more imperative
needs in school construction.
Started LIN Architects Office
In these instances, he said, the
action originated in the municipal
architects office, which reported
to the board that funds for con
structing a new school building had
been exhausted and suggested that
more money be furnished.
The board would reluctantly make
the recommendation to the Engineer
Commissioners, who would submit
the claim to the District auditor
office, where a check would be
drawn for the needed amount.

we are, there are several other
agencies of the District Government
that are tarred with the same
brush, including the municipal ar
chitect's office"
Calls 1t Personal Animus
Mr.. Greenwood declared that Ash
ford's attack was based upon a
personal grievance against him. He
enumerated several instances during
the former municipal architect
term of office during which the
latter exhausted appropriations 70:
school buildings, forcing the board
to draw upon the repair fund.
He stated that the boards &C.
cuser was fully acquainted with the
finance methods used in the
schools, and had discussed these
matters in private conversation
many times.
He apparently has waited for ar
opportunity for an audience, for q
location, for an atmosphere where
II he were sufficiently loose in his
remarks, he could be very sure OF
making the front pages OF the daily
newspapers, said Mr.. Greenwood
Il leave it entirely to his own
conscience as to whether he has
been entirely sincere or not in the
criticism which he has directed at
this board"
