Inaugural Ball Location Battle at Capitol Dome Plan
A heated dispute over where President Roosevelts inaugural ball should be held shifts between the Pension Building and the Library of Congress. House supporters favor the Capitol turning rotunda and Statuary Hall into a grand ballroom with minimal disruption to Congress. Senate leaders resist Library use, preferring the Pension or creating a temporary setup.

Inaugural Committee Debates Hall Choice for Roosevelt Parade
The panel weighs Library building as fireproof option for inaugural events versus Pension building. It cites cost, safety, and accessibility, noting Library capacity and existing staff. Pension building favors decor, fire safety, and historic use, with costs and police provisions outlined. Generals Harries and Wilson discuss troop invites and quartering, aiming for broad State participation while avoiding overcrowding.

Treasurer Ailes notes 38,000 paid on the 400,000 inaugural fund.
