TABLE 13.-Number of pensioners, by Congressional districts and States, &c.—Continued. CONSOLIDATION OF STATES-Continued. There are about 16,000 pensioners who are not included in the above, some 12,000 of whom are those affected by section 4719 of the Revised Statutes, who have not been paid for one, two, and three years, and the balance are those who have no fixed residence, mostly those following the sea. TABLE 14.-Names of the surviving widows of Revolutionary soldiers and sailors who are pensioners, and their place of residence, as shown by the roll June 30, 1882. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ARCHITECT OF THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL. SIR: I have the honor to submit the annual report, showing the progress made since the last annual report in the various works under the direction of the Architect of the Capitol, and a statement of the expenditures made on account of the same during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882. THE CAPITOL. At the beginning of the present Congress several additional rooms were required for the use of committees. So urgent was this demand, that rooms formerly occupied for storage and even ends of corridors have been fitted up to meet this want. Rooms are now being made, as provided by law, in the crypt for the storing of books connected with the Library of Congress. The file-room connected with the office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives has been extended in a fire-proof manner and furnished with iron shelving and metallic file-cases. Bathing-rooms, as provided by a joint resolution, have been fitted up in the basement of the south wing, and the space formerly occupied by them has been annexed to the restaurant and put in condition for use. As many members have expressed a desire to have the marble tubs which were taken from the old bathing-rooms again brought into use, I have caused the two most free from cracks to be placed in the basement, in rooms constructed for that purpose. The elevator in the House wing has been completed, and that in the Senate is being rebuilt so as to insure additional safety and speed. A warehouse lift, controlled by steam-power, is being put in the Senate wing for the convenient handling of documents connected with the folding-room at the basement. A large amount of painting and other repairs have been made throughout the building. The condition of the iron-work of the dome was found to be such that much of the old paint had to be taken off by mechanical and chemical means to get rid of the cracks, many of which had exposed the iron and caused rust stains. This condition appeared mostly confined to that part of the work which during its construction was primed with "plumbago" paint. The old portion of the copper roof near the dome and over the rooms occupied by the Library of Congress has been so injured by materials |
