COMPLETION OF BIG SCHEME
OFFICE BUILDING OPERATIONS. TRANSFORMATION OF LONDON. By Telegraph—Press Assn—Copyright. London, Sept. 7. One of the greatest operations in officebuilding in England will be completed with the erection in the Strand and 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 housing the staff of one of the Government departments. Its erection will also mark thb completion of a great scheme planned in 1898 for sweeping away narrow streets and old property which formerly occupied this site. The dignified new thoroughfare of Kingsway and Aldwych which replaces these was opened by King Edward in 1905, but the war and the depression delayed subsequent developments.
