ASK REPAIR OF MANSION
Legislature May Ask Governor Allen
to Occupy State Residence.


Governor Allen may be asked by
the legislature to live in the executive
mansion at Eighth avenue and Bu-
chanan street. A bill by the house
committee on building and grounds
today provides for an appropriation of
$4,000 for repair of the present ex-
ecutive residence. Members of the
committee today declared that If the
appropriation is provided they would
seek withdrawal of state funds for
rental and maintenance of the Capper
residence now occupied by the gov
ernor.
At present the executive residence
is occupied by Judge Clyde NJ. Reed
of the court of Industrial relations.
An appropriation of 81, 500 is avaffa BILE
for maintenance of the property. An
appropriation of $4,000 year is also
provided for rent and maintenance of
the Capper residence for Governor
Allen.
Chairman Fowler, of Russell county,
introduced the committee bill in the
house. He asked for an appropriation
of 200 when the bill was consid-
cred in the committee. The amount
tho, was reduced to $4,000.
If the bill passes the house and SEN
ate, it is possible that members of the
house committee will seek to block an
appropriation for rental and mainte-
nance of the Capper property. This
| policy would then compel removal OF
| the governor to the state owned ex-
| ecutive mansion or would require him
| to provide a residence at his own ex-
