Capitol repair debate shapes Nebraska Capitol plan
Lincoln February 28 Nebraska House finance chair Economy Reischick opposes a new capitol now, favoring 50 000 for repairing the old east wing. Richmond of Omaha would fund a new building by yearly levies, with major support in Omaha. Many favor repair due to cost and practicality, while a commission would vet designs before action. Senate bills, 39 days in, show heavy workload and looming many bills. A. T. Lunn of Alliance visited for freight rates and met Fire Commissioner Ridgell. Senate Fire 112 bill by Adams of Dawes would aid building and loan associations in pursuing justice locally.
