LONDON'S NEW WHITE

HALL

BIG SAVING IN RENTALS

A CHANGING CITY

London, Oct. 9.

Although Waterloo Bridge has been taken down to the tops of the arches neither the design nor the architect for the new bridge has yet been chosen. Dozens of de- aigns have been sent to the County Hall and are to be examined. They have come from architects and en- gineers and some of them bear hames that ensure very careful con- sideration. The paramount factor it is emphasised is "traffle both over and under the new bridge." So far the design most favoured is that of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott which pro- vides for a bridge with five arches. six lines of traffe. It to carry would be connected by footways with the Victoria Embankment.

Tho Cabinet now has the plans before it for n new "Whitehall" to cost £2,500,000 and take six years to build. The site is occupied by Montague House and its neigh- bours. It runs from Whitehall
