KING’S CORONATION
LONDON DECORATIONS DESIGNS BEING PREPARED [British Oincial Wireless] RUGBY, Oct. 10. Good progress is being made with the preparation of designs for the decoration of the streets and parks in London for the Coronation. Eminent architects who have been appointed to supervise the schemes of decoration in the City of London and City of Westminster have been in frequent consultation with the chief architect of the Office of Works, whose concern is the Royal Parks, and schemes that are being co-ordinated. In the comparatively narrow streets of the city it is proposed that the decorations shall be suspended from buildings and houses, but in the wider streets of Westminster it will be necessary, as usual, to make use of pylons in the decorative scheme. It will be the aim of those responsible to achieve more striking effects than have been usually obtained in street decorations on such occasions in the past. Advice will shortly be issued to the general public about the dec-o-.n. on of private buildings and house.-.
