LONDON IMPROVEMENTS
BUILDINGS IN THE STRAND MODERN STRUCTURES. (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, September 7. One of the greatest operations in office building in England will be completed with the erection in the Strand (Aldwych.) of the final section of Bush House, one of the most conspicuous features of modern London. The Office of Works has leased the proposed new building for the housing of the staff, of one Government department, and its erection will also mark the completion of a great scheme, planned in 1898, for the sweeping away of the narrow streets and old property which formerly occupied this site. The dignified new thoroughfares, Kingsway and Aldwych, which replace these, were opened' by King Edward in 1905, but the war and the depression delayed subsequent developments.
