After living in London j bm# last May I have not come across j uy overhead conveniences in any part | of thi^great City, and there are hun- j Jwd* of conveniences everywhere. Only iatwo or three of the great parks have I wea-aay above the ground, and then ttey are all surrounded by trees. Ai for the bottle-neck, the City of Leaden would have a subway under tiera 1 in less time than it takes the ttrutdmrch City Council to think it. I'm told also that tlio Clock T#w«r is removed. All I can say is tilt if London were to start doing that thing it would lose some of the oldest landmarks, which, ali Louprises so much. fj*. me smile when I think of nnchurch being in a bad way for wm_ her streets. But, of course, ...j, , on ,police have the traffic under ?f~ splendid control that everything work smoothly, and I can't cS ""'king that the Christchurch yonneil made a great mistake when the control of the traffic out wSSfV 11 - re B u ' ar police.
