3. General Grechko's Extravagance:
Local residents are upset over the extravagance of General Grechl-o, largely
because between 22 February and the end of April he had the theate- in
the house at 165 Zerndorfer Strasse expensively and completely redecorated
three times. The original extimated cost was 4,000 eastmarks but the
actual post to date is 20,000 eastmarks. The first color scheme was
blue plush. This was replaced by golf filigree, and is now being done over
with fresco. The original furniture of red plush chairs has now been
replaced by different ones.
The front of his own house, number 187, had to be completely redecorated
within 48 hours on 6 May.
