WEST-END BUILDING BOOM,

(BRITISH UNITED PRESE').

Londen.-The famous residential land-marks of London are disap pearing. Park Lane is getting more like "Park Avenne every day. The calm of spring mornings in Hyde Park is disturbed by work men perched high in the steel girders of apartment houses rising in what was once a street of Peers, Not a trace remains of Devonshire House. Lansdowne House, will soɑn pass away by the same route. Dorchester House is again for sale, after a plan to convert it into a Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was abandoned, and an option, on the property forfeited.

Mayfair isn't Mayfair any more. Ducal mansions have become "hotels, clubs, offices. One, Lancaster House, has been preserved as a museum. The immense town houses for which London was once famous among European cities will soon be only a memory: The fashionable West End is sprinkled with "House to Let" signs. While house wreckers apply their gentle art to the Georgian palaces which must give way to modern apartment buildings, the New Yorker finds a similar, and perhaps more drastic, change in the complexion of Fifth

Avenue.

Real estate agents predict that continue even after the most ad vantageous sites, formerly occupied by a few great town houses, have been utilized. The demand for

at rentals from £500 to £3,000 a year can not be ignored. Buying up of entire blocks of small residences is expected to be the next move in the transformation of the Wild West End. The people who move into the new £2,000 flats will be saving money, the real estate men argue, because they will be giving up their much more expen sive country places or town houses, And especially will moving into á fat be a saving if family's re- sources have been hit by the heavy English death duties. If there are two deaths in a rich family with- in a year or so, the drain of death duties makes it almost impossible to keep up an expensive home.

The newly rich in England are about demonstrating new ideas their mode of living. There is no longer the great rush to buy up
