School desks questioned as boards defend quality
The Board of Education and District property clerk testified that desks supplied to Washington public schools in the last two years meet specifications. Herbert F. L. Allen and Municipal Architect Snowden Ashford had charged inferior desks, but suppliers and school officials insisted samples and in-use furniture are identical and meet all requirements. Ashford did not attend the subcommittee hearing and sent a critical letter. Captain James F. Oyster urged fairness and promised answers to all questions as the subcommittee prepares its report for the full committee this week.
