tense employees have lost their

ployes brought the Post Office De-
partment employment to an all
time peak of 533,370 workers, the
committee said.

residence of the President. Others
propose making the Presidents s
House the residence of Congress,
and too many on both sides are
of the opinion that only one of
these houses should for the pres
ent be finished and that any
money granted should be appro-

But the Commissioners went
ahead with the construction work
as best they could. AS the move
from Philadelphia to Washington
became more certain and the year
1900 opened, they were struggling
to obtain delivery of mahogany
for floors and doors and prodding
those who had contracts for orna-
mental work. About 20 carpenters
were at work in the late rush.

templated arrival in June the
Commissioners had to say:
1--WE do not believe it will be
possible to prepare the building
for the reception of the President
until October or November next.
The plaster and paint must have
time to dry. 4
They were right. MIR. Adams
had to stay at an inn when he
arrived.
