City Hall Design
الله
KYHATEVER other general reac- tions there may be to Thurs- day's meeting of the City Hall Com- mittee it should at least bestir a new public interest in the project. Govern- ment's recent memorandum provoked considerable criticism from two mem- bers of the committee who questioned, not only the proposal that the architec- tural design and plans should be the Joint responsibility of Professor Gor- don Brown and the PWD, but the offi- cial estimated costs, and Government's contention that if the design were to be thrown open to competition under the RIBA and Royal Institute, powers of final selection would be vested in the assessors. It will be Government's task to reply to these criticisms and the general public, some- what gleefully, will be able to sit on the sidelines and watch the contest. Nevertheless, one can hardly fail to notice certain features about Thurs- day's meeting of committee ranking АБ & representative body of local opinion. While the committee eventual- ly voted unanimously against Govern- ment's latest alternative proposals for the designing and planning of the City Hall, only two members voiced direct opposition, and they spoke very much from the professional point of view.

"This is something which we know, in our the stricken vessel en Wednes- bones, we cannot do," he said.
In his reference to the lessened risk of war Mr Eden said he believed that the Russian Communist empire shared with other States and nations the desire for ur- vival. He did not believe that the Soviet leaders were eager to face the utter chaos and destruction which would result from a full-scale conflict with the West. They were on the whole, careful and calculating in the risks they took. It was part of their dogma that the home of the Revolution must not be needlessly on- dangered.

The voting, therefore, appears to have been dependent more ou persuasion than con- viction. This in itself is not to be con- demned, and there will be no lack of respect either from Government private quarters for the opinions ad- vanced by men of such high profes- sional and public spirited qualities as Mr Faber and Mr Feltham. Neverthe- less a little more outspokenness on the part of other members of the commit- tee would not have come amiss. The debate appeared a trifle one-sided as though the subject merited but a single approach involving an unqualified deci sion. The belief remains that the general public, insofar as they are in- terested in the subject, are not con- vinced that either Government or the City Hall Committee have made out in- disputable cases and that both sides can afford to give the matter a lot more attention and public airing. This is one time when there is no desperate demand for immediate and irrevocable decisions.
