Among many reasons for enlarging
the white house. perhaps the most
cogent In that the mansion today has
no adequate room for meetings OF the
cabinet. when the government was
first started. the cabinet had only four
members. representing the departments
OF state. treasury. war and justice, For
that number the space allowed might
be sufficient, but the presidents adj

eight. and In consequence Il Is absurd

there Is serious talk Of n colonial sec
