Whole New Town Quarter

Belgrade, July 27.

Work is going ahead this year on a big town planning scheme for Belgrade to double its present population (506,000) to over a million in twenty years' time.

The scheme was launched by Yugoslavia's Communist town planners after World War II, but initial work was frequently suspended because of lack of funds.

It is admitted to be ambitious, for this type of construction in since it necessitates bullding a Europe. To be finished by the whole new quarter on the four end of the year, it will replace miles of marshland beside the dilapidated looking bridge put Sava River which at present up tempomrily at the end of the divide the Yugoslav capitai from war and still doing service. the town of Zemun, with Ita 33,000 inhabitonta.

Wellington, July 27.

The development of hydro-electric power is leading to the disappearance from New Zealand houses of the traditional chimney.

Until a recent fairly sharp rise in price, electricity from the hydro-electric plants was supplied at a very cheap rate. Attracted by its cleanliness and convenience, nearly all new house builders are installing electricity for all heating and lighting, with the result that the all-electric home is becoming a typical New Zealand house.
