Vatican palaces at Rome. He also
asks for an adjacent strip of land
large enough to accommodate some
official buildings.
At the present time. the pontifi-
cal offices are scattered throughout
Rome. Under the proposed plan they
would all be assembled within the
shadows of st. Peter's.
The realization of the papal pro-

vent the Piedmont statesman from
answering this moot question.
