· LONDON'S RIVER,

WHAT SIR S. INSTONE WOULD

DO WITH IT.

"The Thames," said Sir Samuel

Instone, in an Interview with the Evening News, "is the key to Lon- don's traffic problem." The coal and shipping magnato signed the last of a heap of cheques, relighted his pipe-and smiled.

"Yes... The waste of time in the City of London ja enormous. Business suffers; industry suffers; appointments are delayed; the whole day is disorganised. Why? I will show you."

to see the traffic clinos in Canning Town, Commercial Road, Mile End Road, Aldgate, Leadenhall Street, Fenchurch Street, Lower Thames Street, Eastcheap, and other of the main traffle arteries to appreciate the stupendous, financial loss com- merce suffers by this congestion."

"But supposing the opening up of the railway bridges to an inau- perable problem?" I asked.

"Thon," said Sir Samuel. "I would have ample free and open quay space on each side of the river. Here goods could be loaded into steam or motor boats and taken to the docks.

"Even if this means-as it might -damming the river lower down, I say it can be done. The Thames should be alive with a constant flow why of water-borne traffic, and the nut- pro-thorities ahould encourage-or even make compulsory-water- borne traffic in the congested area.

"Surely this is a matter that the Ministry of Transport might well carry out. It means work for many thousands of unemployed, as well as for foundries, builders, and many kindred trades.

Sir Samuel strode across his room and seized a large map. This

ghow you the City has

traffic A blem. London has developed from its east side. All the docks are at one end of London, cast and south- east, and are so placed that the City is between them and the bulk of the population, which, during the last 30 years, has been moving west.

"London'a food and heat and light and everything else have to be landed and its exports shipped at one end of the City, and tediously and expensively transported right through the centre."

An Appalling Waste. Sir Samuel tapped the map with the stem of his pipe. "It pasacs my comprehension why we do not use the means that we have at our very door, not only to relieve the present congestion, but to make pro- vision for the future. To me, as one whose business, with so many others, suffers acutely from this appalling waste of time and money, our neglect of the Thames is amazing!

"The Thames was intended by the founders of London to be its natural highway.

"Here we have this great water. way linking the sea with London from one end to the other. What use do we make of it? We sail a few barges and lighters up it!"

Sir Samuel again relighted his pipe and warmed to his subject. "We have thrown bridges across it that make it more difficult for even the barges and lighters to come up it, and we run trips to Margate and Southend. Now if I—” He paused, rondering......

Docks As Far As Putney!

"I would try to meet London's urgent need for wharves and docka by distributing them up the river- as far, say, as Putney.

"If this scheme were put into progressive operation it really would increase the wealth of our great London, and stop a

wicked waste of time and money."
