NO NEW MANSION FOR
GEORGIA’S GOVERNOR,
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 13th—The
present legislature has decreed,
by negation, that Georgia’s chief
executive will have to live for
a couple of years more at least
in a ramshakle, crumbling and
disreputable old mansion, in the
midst of garages, Mores and
places of business.
The senate decided to take ac
tion tliitj year in the appointment
of a commission to consider get
ting rid of the old mansion and
providing anew. But this does
not mean that the question is
settled. It is bound to bob up
again the first thing next year,
and to keep bobbing up, for the
the old building becomes more
tumble down each season and
the site and less desirable
for a governor’s mansion.
Public sentiment is beginning
to demand that anew mansion he
build in some attractive residen
tial section. The suggestion that
a sate be chosen in Druid Hills,
Atlanta’s most beautiful residen
tial section, is still being seriouM
ly considered, and may prove the
final solution of the problem.
