London, Mar. 11. Rebuilding of the City of London, following war-time bomb damage, is now being accelerated after eight years of hold-ups and restrictions. The Minister of Works, Sir David Eccles, has promised builders and planters his full support. He is so confident that he has forecast that major reconstruction projects will be completed by 1980. More than a third of the one-square-mile City
of London was laid waste in the war years. For
