Protest Lodged Against Structure In Sunken Gardens Miss Elizabeth Lord, daughter of an early day Oregon governor, Saturday voiced protest against the proposal of Secretary of State Earl T.

Miss Lord said such a building would mar the beauty of the state capitol grounds. Other protest was made by Miss Lord against plac ing "stumps" of pillars salvaged from the burned capitol building at either end of the sunken gar dens. Newbry suggested that sun dial and bird bath be placed on the stumps. Miss Lord suggested that a pool be installed in the sunken gardens and that the bird bath be given more privacy.
