IMPASSE OVER DESIGN

FOR TOWN HALL

Here is the sorry tale of tho - 'Town Hall that might have been.

The scone is Southwark, ЯE. The dramatls personas, the

City Fathers and six well-known archl- tects. Ring up the curtain on the Fathers in conclave, dociding that they shall have a now town hall, a goodly town hall, to replace the present edifice in Walworth-road.

Enter the six well-known archi- tects. Their task is to compete for the honour of the winning" design, to set their names (or one of them) for all time on Walworth-road. Enter also Mr. Lousi de Solasons, whose task is to make the award. So far all goes well.

Scene 11. The Fly in the Ointment. Six well-known archit-

HÓ 1932 BỶ NEA SERVICE, INC.)

ecta basé submitted meritorious designs. The plan of Southwark goes to Mr. C. Cowles-Voysey. Enter the City Fathers: and the City Fathers ponder.

Mr. Cowles-Voyaoy's plan is not for them, they decide; rather will they browse around their table in the brave building that one of the rejected designs portrays.

Sceno 111. Further Alles in fresh ointment. What will the six well-known architects think about It?

But the problem solves itsolf. The six approach the Royal In- stitute of British Architects, where the final fly is found. Certain stipulations have not been.complied with, so they say, therefore the com- petition, from their point of view, Bix, is no competition. Then the holding conclave of their GVII, agree that the rejected shall be the winner and the winner the re- jected.

The storm over, a point is worthy of mention. Owing to the exigen- cles of the financial altuation, the Town Hall will not be ballt. ̧
