LONDON’S GROWTH
BOOM IN BUILDING During the last year, says the Lon don Daily Mail, building has been so rapid in the north-west area of Greater London that its progress has staggered the builders themselves. This admission was made at Gore licensing sessions. The district of Stanmore, where the new Queensbury station is to be built, is growing with the speed of a ‘boom city in the days of the gold rush, and-more than 10CO houses will be built on two estates during the next I'd months.
Where there are homes there are hotels, and two applications were made to the Bench for hotel licenses. Sir Henry Curtis Bennett, K.C., appeared on behalf of a new hotel proposed to be erected in Honeypot lane; and Sir Reginald Mitchell Banks, K.C., for . a proposed new Queensbury hotel on a site where “new roads are going to be made, and houses are to be built literally by the hundreds." Both counsel, with the aid of plans, demonstrated the boom in bricks and mortar. Each claimed that his site was the better of the two, but the Bench decided in favor only of the one in Honeypot lane. With the coming of the new town, it was stated that Stag lane aerodrome would cease to be, as the site would be needed for houses and still more houses.
