An incidental alteration worth mention
ing, however. is the construction of a small
portico on the east side Of the building,
and looking toward the White H~ouse-the
object Of II being to give Mr.. Taft a path
of access direct TO his own office. The
business annex, as ii has been called, is 30
connected by a covered way with the exc
cuttve mansion itself, that the president
can go to and fro in privacy. But Mr..
Roosevelt was obliged to enter his office
through the cabinet room-an arrangement
henoeforth TO be done away with.
The work OF rebuilding the annex is go
ing on with extraordinary rapidity, three
gangs Of men being kept at it on eight
hour shifts. At night the scene is illumi-
mated by a number of huge electric arcs,
which furnish an artificial daylight, so
that the labor does not pause for a mo-
ment. BY the first day Of November the
structure is expected TO be finished, re-
furnished completely and ready for ocou-
pancy by Mr.. Taft, his secretary, and the
staff of executive clerks.

White HouSeAnnex
Business End Of the Presidents
Woms Undergoing Extensive
Alterations and improvements.

The ancient and venerable White House
is overhauled in some way every year.
Whatever changes are made are confined
to the interior. The exterior is rarely dis
turbed Respect for sentiment and the
traditions dictate that. But the business
annex OF the building being strictly mod
ern, is not wholly up-to-date and is subject
to change inside and out. as the needs Of
the president require. This year the annex
is being overhauled extensively, much Of
It being rebuilt. Fifty thousand dollars
will be used in converting it into a mod
ern business office for the president, hand
somely and appropriately equipped in all
respects.
The Presidents office will be a spacious
room, oval in shape. and forty feet in It's
greatest diameter. Its ceiling will be
white, and slightly "domed." The walls
will be covered with a sort of cloth, an
eighth of an inch thick and red in color.
The floor will be a polished wood, partly
concealed by fine oriental rugs, and all the
chairs and settees will be upholstered with
leather Of the water buffalo. or "carabao,"
Of the Philippines. This. by the way, is a
particularly excellent leather. and takes
a beautiful finish.
On the east of Mr.. Taft's office will be
the cabinet room. and on the west the
room Of his secretary. Mr.. Carpenter. The
room formerly occupied by the president
will be fitted up luxuriously as
a waiting room for congressman. The old
secretary's room $50 long occupied by Mr.,
Loebl, is to be henceforth a waiting room
for the public. The former cablnet room
will be occupied by some Of the executive
clerks, and the old public waiting room will
become an entrance lobby. There will be
other minor changes, but these are the
principal ones.
