[DY VAUGHAN DRYDEN.]

LONDON, June 17th, The reassembling of his Majesty's faithful Commons this week reminds us anew how woefully palo and anmmie political oratory has become in those post-bellum days.

The spellbinders of the past generations coined phrases which were destined to pass into the lan-. gunge, and become the current idiom wherever politics were dis: cussed.

Has the art of phrase-making died out?

There is a Valuation Departament in the ancient Guildhall, but they paled at the question, "How much is this square mile worth?"

Frankly, they had never valued it. But they know that its gross rentals last year were £9,799,302, were animitted to an expert valuer, and they thought that, if that figure he would be able to help.

A valuer, on being consulted, how ever, found it difficult to know whe- ther to give it a 20 years' or a 25 years' purchase value. On last year's gross rent, the 20 years' basis would give the square mile a value of £195,087,840, and on the 25 years' basia a value of £244,894,800.
