LEGISLATURE WILL
: FIX STATE CAPITOL
Rebuilding of East Wing- Will
. Be Left to Lawmakers of
Next Session.
DANGER
NOT
IMMEDIATE
; (Prom a Staff Correbpondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 28. (Special.) Re
building the east wing oi the state
House will be up to the next legisla
ture, the committee appointed by
Governor. Morehead, which met this
morning, taking a stand in favor of
making a report of the condition of
the same and leaving it to the legis
lature to meet the emergency.
The committee, consisting of Presi
dent of the Senate PhiJ Kohl of
Wayne, Speaker George Jackson,
Senator Spirk of Saline and Repre
sentative Peterson of Lancaster, with
State Engineer Johnson and some of
the members of the State Board of
Public Lands, accompanied by the
governor, made a close investigation
of the state house and its condition,
going to the top and following down
on the inside to the bottom.
Up around the dome on the side
next to the east wing they found sev
eral cracks where the stone had
pulled away fro mthe dome, large
enough to stick a fist in, but it was
the general condition of the wing
which appeared to cause most con
cern. .
No Immediate Danger.
According to State Engineer John
son the outside layer of stone has
sunk below the rest of the wall about
four inches. This has weakened the
whole wall. He does not think there
is any immediate danger, but believes
the legislature should take some steps
as soon as it convenes.
The wing might fall tomorrow or
it might stand for a considerable time,
but the face remains that the board
considers that it would be almost
criminal negligence on the part of
the legislature not to take some steps
toward repairing the wing.
Governor Morehead, who has not
in the past showed much enthusiasm
over a new state house, after exam
ining the building this morning,
frankly stated that he thought some-
were it not that the next session is
only four months away, it wojild be
best to call a special session in order
that something should be done. "If
it was a year away," said he, "I
should seriously consider calling a
special session.
Building in Bad Shape.
"I believe i twould be like pour
ing money into a rat hole to attempt
to fix up the wing by repairing it,"
said the governor in the discussion
which took place. The whole build
ing is in bad shape, and while my
offices are fairly comfortable, those
on the north side are almost unin
habitable in the winter time. I be
believe we should tear down the east
wing and rebuild it Iariter and in ani-lv
ehape that it would be a part oi a new
iiu luuuuuuiuus uuuaing later n.
ine matter was let t tor the state
engineer and J. H. Graddock of
Omaha, an architect who accom
panied the committee on its trip of
investigation, to draw up a report to
the legislature which will be submit
ted to he committee at a later meet
