BANK HOLIDAY
BREAK
Company Records. Removed
London, Aug. 6.
The Bank holiday break has been used to ooviate inconvenience to the public in the removal of over eight hundred tons of British Com- pany records from Somerset House, to the new quarters on the other side of the Surand in Bush House,
The transference of the Com- panies' Registration Office to new premises has been necessitated by the vast growth of the company system in recent decades, and particularly the increase in the past years in the number of new joint stock undertakings which ac- companied other varied signs of in- dustrial revival.
The growth is indicated by the fact that while the 100,000th com- pany was incorporated in 1908 and the, 200,000th in 1924, the 300,000th Re- was incorporated this year, cords, which are kept available for inspection by the public, have in- creased until they occupy eight and a half miles of racking space, while the average number bf "searchers". tempting to consult the files each day has risen from 155 in 1900 to 875 at the present time.-- British Wireless.
