EXPENDITURES AL THE WHITE
HOUSE.
Much UnfavorabIe Criticism Over
the Reports Made

There is considerable uniavorahle criti-
cism just now over the reports which
show the biz sums of money that have
been paid out for work about the White
Uonse in Washington. According TO the
annual report oithe commissioner oipub,,
lie buildings and grounds. the sum ol
$40 93l was expended during the fiscal
year ended June Both for extraordinary
repairs and reiurnishing" at the White
House. The total amount available for
this purpose was s475,4i5. The report
shows also that S65, ly6 was expended
for the new office building for the Presi-
dent and his clerical force. There has al
ready been much criticism OF this build
ing. not only on account Of its architect
ural appearance, but because OF the large
amount Of money that the government
paid TO erect such cheap-looking affair
