The attention drawn to the subject has undoubtedly fel the London County Coun- cil to adopt-a-mora receptive attitude, and they have actually, since 1920. permitted Sir J. Burnett to carry up his building, Adelaide House, London Bridge, to a height of a hundred and two feet; and Mr. Campbell Jones to carry up his building in King William-street to 陨 height of a hundred

and ten feet in the centre, whilst they have per mitted Messrs. Heline - and - Čarbett, the American architects, to erect Bush House to a height of a hundred and six feet on the Strand frontage, and to a hundred and twenty-four on the return frontages, and it is understood that this building will Eventually have a central tower which will be a hundred and forty-four feet above the street level. Thus in three years we have already climbed from eighty feet to a han: üred and twenty-four feet..

The highest of the bigher buildings advocated by me would be a hundred and fifty feet bigh only in the case of buildings freing parks, the river side and open spaces, and a hun dred and twenty feet only in the case of buildings facing streets. So that, for in stance, in Oxford-street, which is eighty. fect wide, a building should be allowed one and a half times the width of the street, giving the height of a hundred and twenty feet. And it is obvious that such z development, besides increasing the ne commodation for business in the centre of C. E. WARREN CO., LTD London by fifty per cent., would tionately increase the rateable 'vilos of Central London. With this enormous in- creas of rateable value the local authori ties could readily raise municipal loans, and employ those loans firstly for the wid ening of existing congested thoroughfates, OFFICES 4 98A, Wanchai Road, and secondly for the clearacen of slum GODOWNS. areas and the drection thereon of healthy blocks of dwellings for the working-classes.

·HIGHEĽ· BUILDINGS, AND ANCIENT LIGHTS.

"If a revision of the administration of the Building Acts as regards the gu tion of heights is to be part in hand. it will be

necessary at the same time to the question of the revision of the law on ancient lights, which is founded upon the Prescription. Act of 1832, giving to window the rebt of being regarded as an accient light if it has enjoyed uninterrup. ted access of light for twenty years. is not contemplated to take away those righty, but to establish a procedure which would economically and promptly define their purchasable price, so that they should not stand in the way of the adequate development of London."
