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.
