WORK ON WHITE HOUSE
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY

,ween the east wall OF the main entrance
hnll ard the East Room proper.
work IN the second floor lising
rooms has bcc1 advanced with remark
able cclcri,v during the rast week.
Partitions have been removed and re-
constructed, ia;hing has been done. and
plastorers htarted on their task In the
attic. whore several new rooms are
being constructed through putting In
dormcr windows Of good height the
greatest progress has been made. as two
shifts of employees have been stationed
here. working by turns at day and
night.
Last night the force at work mum
bered upward of thirty men, including
piasterers carpenters, and their help
ers, toiling under the glare of huge in
candoscent lights. In the elevator shaft
squad of bricklayers were vigorously
applying their methods TO the, COM
pletion OF the massive walls.
The rapid advancement Of work on
all the living rooms of the mansion has
been ordered by the contractors, and /.
according to their present estimate, the
White House will be ready for Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his family to step
right into when they return to the
tdpltdi lily III tHe early idli lEOlu ,iSIT
Oyster Bay home.
Especial efforts to this end will be
made. so that Mrs. Roosevelt shall not
be put TO the inconvenience of moving
into the temporary White House on
Jackson Place, which would be rather
insufficient for the needs OF the Presi-
dents family. Unless many unexpected
delays and dlsappointments occur.
therefore the month OF October will
have hardly begun before the new
White kHouse will welcome back the
Presideht and his family TO the shelter
of its historic walls.
