FORBIDDEN MARRIAGES.

SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1927.

LOVE MATCHES THAT CAN NEVER BE.

Hero, are two "marriage prob- lèma" which Mr. Clark Hall, the Old-street muglstrate, had to ans- wer."

No. 1. Can I marry the widow of my brother's aon?

No. 2. Can I marry my Inte wife's mother's sister?

Mr. Clarko Hall's answer to the A Greater London, with no

questions was: "These marriages traie problem, composed of Little are forbidden under the old law Londons where people can walk aa set out in the tables at the end totheir work, instead of a city of the Book of Common Prayer. round which one layer of houses The prohibited degree of relation- is built after another until the ship has been modified compara- Londoner is suffocated like a mantively recently by the Acts of 1907 with half a dozen overcoats.

and 1921, wheroby marriage is permitted with a deceased wife's sister and a deceased brother's widow.

This is the vision which inspires the invitation of the Minister of Health to the 120 local authorities around London to form a joint planning committee. Arena all round London have their planning schemes, but the centre has o for been ignored. Numerous re- plies have already been received from authorities willing to concur In the scheme, and the Minister is only awaiting the approval of a majority of them to call the new body into being.

No Dietation.

A Ministry of Health official who is a prominent expert on, town planning outlined some of the economics and amenities which will result from a co-ordination of the London and Home Counties Area. He emphasised that it will be the function of the new body to lay down a policy, and not of the Ministry in any sense to dic- Late one.

"Royal Commissions for more than twenty years have recom- mended that the area should be treated as a unit," he said, "and the last, in 1921, recommended that the traffic'aren should be a combined area for town planning ignd traffic. Parliament only Eranted authority to deal with traffic, but to tackle congestion by dealing with traffic is to begin' at the wrong end of the stick.

"What has to be done is to settle what function cach area car best perform in the interests of the whole whether it should be re- sidental, open or industrial, and. if industrial, which industries can nost econotnically be situated in it. Londen is constantly being pulled down and rebuilt, but not scientifically,

"No Sense in It."

"Apparently it never occurred to the Legislature, in passing these Acts," to extend them đó what

is a far more remote relationship, namely, a brother's son's wife.

"I suppose no casa had come be fore the notice of Parliament and It mover occurred to them to alter the law, and as far as I can see the old law is still in force so f as these applications are concern- ed. There appears to be no glim- mer of sense in prohibiting mar rings in the case of a brother's son's widow and permitting it in the case of a brother's widow.

"I am afraid I must tell both these parties that they cannot marry the ladies of their choice by the law of England. They had better write to their Member of Parliament."

"This would give more elbow- room for central London,' he said. und decentralisation would give more still. At present, we are told, people are spreading into the [country, and the underground railways are carrying them from greater distances, but this is sim- ply adding to the problem and not solving it.

"It creates more in-and-out traf- fie and wastes people's time in travelling. Industries could be established outside London with the population housed near by under model conditions, and able to walk to their work. To achieve this end it is necessary to have a concerted polley over large enough to make planning | feasible.'

Speculative builders will not be permitted, if the scheme becomes effective, to cover with cottages sites which would have been more valuable. for factories, and to leave nothing for industry but Isites which are not served by rail- way or canal, thus throwing more traffic on the roads.

A systematic survey will show which sites are healthiest for housing, which most convenient' for factories, and which should be, left open, and power stations can be built with a greater cex- tainty of the quantity of energy they will be required to generate; and with more attention to ameni- fies.

"Supposo Covent Garden is n lowed to move to Bloomsbury," he added, "what is to happen ta the people at present living in Bloomsbury? That is the kind of problem which a concerted policy will solvc.'

The Earl of Oxford and As- quith, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, and Mr. Winston Churchill have, accepted invitations to attend the St. Patrick's Day Banquet at the Hole! Cecil, London, on March 18.
