BIGGEST SALE IN
HISTORY.
THE NATION GETS £680,000,000.
DISPOSAL OF WAR STORES ALL OVER THE WORLD.
GREAT TASK COMPLETED.
Next March the biggest sales job over undertaken by a Government organisation will be completed. It is the liquidation and disposal of all the surplus war stores...
The task was begun by the Liqui- lation and Disposils Commission on January 18, 1919. There were then hundreds of millions of pounds worth of British property scattered practically all over the world.
There were leads, buildings, fac tories, railway material, dock equip ment, metals, explosives, foodstuffs mechanical and horse transport, barges, medical stores, furniture, and a host of other things. There wer hundreds of miles of roads built by British labour and money in foreign countries-in Macedonia,
Palestine, Iraq,
Franch Canal, Barges. There were hundreds of boats and barges for river traffic on the canals of France and Belgium. There were
great damps of material here, there
ind everywhere.
The great task of surveying them, caleniating their value, finding buyers and selling them is now all but finished; and the total sum realised by the British Exchequer is about £680,000,000.
There will be a trifle of about, £15,000,000 in addition to this which the Commission will leave to the Treasury for collection. It repre- seats aums advanced to private firms for business extensions-new plant, etc.-during the war, when every industry capable of turning out war material helped to strengthen the national effort. These loans were made on favourable terms, and for the most part have been repaid.

Town Planning Committee, The Minister of Health, Mr. Neville Chamberlain has addresded a letter to all local authorities in the Greater London area, calling their attention to the necessity for the setting up of a Joint Town Planning Committee for London.
The committee would include
local authorities in the London traffic area as defined in the London Trafic Act.
The functions of the committee would be to advise in the promo tion and co-ordination of town planning schemes within the area, and to consider and make sugges matter relating to the effective town tions or recommendations on any or regional planning of the area.
Without this committee, he states, it will be impossible to avoid diff- "culties as London develops
