LAWYERS £200,000 FEE.
Famous lawyers and doctors are popularly supposed to draw the highest fees of any professional men, but the honours for any single job must surely be awarded to Mr.'Fredrick Palmer, who has been engaged by the London County» Council as engineer of the new Charing Cross Bridge at a fee of £200,000. _ Enormous though this fee is, it. is not by any means all profit for Mr. Palmer, lie has to provide his own staff of assistants, clerks, and so on, and the work will take anything from five to seven years to complete. Enough will remain, however, to prove that civil engineering is one ot the most paying careers a-young in" li can take' up to-day.
