a searching and nationwide investlga-

The rebuilding required several years.
In 1920 the commissioners made report
in which they stated they had expended
SAG 400 on the new building. and that 1t
was far from completed. They wrote
that they had been compelled to omit GER
tain features of the building for lack OF
money This left the house still to be
furnished. and Congress was asked TO
make available further sum for that
purpose The report of the commlssio on
ers showed the following expenditures
on the White House:

the salaries paid the architect and other

they take into consideration other sums
that were required for the salaries of the
commissioners.

was completed and ready for occupancy

good condition. and these were retained
and the building virtually rebuilt ac-
cording to the plans of the original struc-
ture In fact, the architect of the first
White House was in charge of the re-
building.
When Congress met after the destruc-
ton Of the government buildings 1t i'm
mediately set about rebuilding them a
committee was appointed which. in No
yember. 1914 examined the ruins OF the
White House to see if any portion OF IT
could be used in it's rebuilding. AT the
same time the Congress appropriated
$500 900 for the rebuilding Of all the gov
eminent buildings that had beer burned
OF course, this money was not enough
for the purpose. and it was only short
time before the commissioners Of public
buildings found that the amount set aside
for the White House was not sufficient

asked for.

eaters loving especially weed seeds. But.
as it is not desirable to cultivate weeds.
the next best thing is to raise other at

more weed seed than anything else. al

not to be sufficient, and it was several
years before the residence was finally
furnished.
The first White House was far from
