house detectives began looking ' for a
chance to' cut salaries and help In depart
ments Is shown In records of the state
auditor's department on .the office of
governor alon.
The Statement, going back fourteen
years, which Is the time since anVxecu
tlve has been provided with a house to
live in at state expense, shows thst there
has been Considerable difference fh of
fice expense of. the seven administra
tions since the time the mansion was
bought by the state. S
The Items' for office expense and main
tenance, which also covers dallway fare,
are as follows, the maintenance for the
first three administrations being some
what lower, because of the use of rail
road passes by the executives , ,

The blank space in the maintenance
column opposite the Morehehd adminis
tration Is, caused by the fact that Gov
ernor Morebeid has paid his own house
expense and -has paid h!s own railroad
fare. It also shows that the office ex
pense has been kept down lower tnsn for
any other governor during the fourteen-
