LONDON'S NEW WHITE HALL
BIG SAVING IN RENTALS
A CHANGING CITY
London, Oct. 9,
Although Waterloo Bridge haa been taken down to the tops of the orches neither the design nor the architect for the new bridge has yet been chosen. Dozens of de- signs have been sent to the County- Hall and are to be examined. They have come from architects and en- gineers and some of them boar names that ensure very careful con-. sideration. The paramount factor It is emphasised is "traffle both over and under the new bridge." So far | the design most favoured is that of Sir Gles Gilbert Scott which pro- vides for a bridge with five arches to carry six Hines of traffic. It would be connected by footwaya with the Victoria Embankment.
