Authority of State Builders Now Seems to be Deadlocked
In Montgomery the three state building bodies dispute powers over the new state office building. The 1945 state building commission claims exclusive authority to construct and maintain the building, while the Alabama Buildings Corporation and Capitol Building Commission contest the scope of that power. Attorney General Carmichael says the 1945 act does not absorb older duties, leaving the issue in deadlock.
