WANT ROOM PRESERVED.
Art Commission to Oppose Cutting
Up Governors Chamber.

The cutting UP of the historic Governors
Room in the City Hall. against which The Trib-
une yesterday protested editOriary IS pretty
certain to be effectuany opposed by the Munich
pal Art Commission. If that body gets chance
10 exercise its prerogatives. That this oppor-
tunity will be given is generally believed. as il
is understood Mayor Mcclellan is preparing to
submit the question 10 the commission in a few
days. Though the Individual members Of the
commission were reticent on the subject and
chary Of being quoted. yesterday. the general
expression was that the commission and the pub
lie at large opposed to the measure. and that
there is really danger.
There has been some difference Of opinion
whether the commissions Jurisdiction extended
TO the case in hand. While this It is admitted
is not in strictness case Of art IL is held that
the Mayor IS empowered to use his own discre-
ton In deciding what cases shall come before
that body. John BigeCw was little doubtful
to the authority of the commission in a case
of this kind. He said:
AS it stands. this is purely an academic ques-
ton. since the Mayor has not yet placed the
case before The Art Commission has no
power of initiative. The only case in which it
can pass judgment on a question of municipal
art is where that question is submitted to il by
the Mayor. 1 rather doubt that this comes
within the province of the commission. 1t is a
question rather OF the preservation Of an old
relic than of the furtherance of municipal art"
Mr.. Bigelow does not favor dismantling the
room. however
Another member OF the commission who did
not wish to be quoted, but who expressed the
prevailing sentiment and spoke with authority
Of the Mayors intentions, said:
There is no doubt that Mayor Mcclellan will
submit 70 us this proposition to cut up the Gov
ernor's Room. and there is equally little doubt
that the commission will oppose the idea. The
commission does not wish to do much talking
beforehand on the subject. but is glad 70 see the
public urging on the Mayor the preservation of
the room.
Not that I think that the Mayor is opposed
to the idea Of preservation at all Nor DO l re-
gard him as IN any way unfrendiy to the COM
mission. on the contrary, lie has shown. in a
number Of instances, that he Is inclined 10 give
much Difference TO our wishes. There are a
number OF cases where IL was discretionary
with him whether 70 submit questions TO US. He
did so freely and followed our Judgment The
bridge over McGOwns's Creek example
That measure was passed in Mayor Lows ad-
ninistration. yet Mayor Mcclellan submitted
the details of the proposition to the commission
before carrying IL out. All cases Of municipal
art or architectural designs must come before
US for approval but a case Of this kind may
come TO us at the discretion OF the Mayor
