Although this Nebraska shrine was
taken over by the last legislature,
no caretaker has yet been appointed.
Criticism is heard from visitors and
townspeople over Governor Bryan's
delay In selecting a man TO care for
the immense mansion and the flow
ers, shrubs and trees. There is also
fear that a politician with no know
ledge of botany will be given this
post.
The most practical suggestion
thus far made Is that one Of the ex-
perts of botany from the state uni
yersity be appointed TO supervise

Townspeople believe that some Of
the rooms could be fitted UP to house
botanical students from the Uuivers-

much TO study, both in the park and
along the river bluffs.
II is hoped TO furnish other rooms
in the mansion with relics OF early
