London, Oct. 23. Sir Giles Scott is to receive £6,250 altogether as architect of the new Waterloo Brides, This som wha agreed on in 1932 when Sir Giles drew un his first plans for the Bridge. He was paid a thon- sand guineas then and the LC.C. on Tuesday will be asked to vote the balance of the fac. 4,000 guineaa. The cost of the work, in- cluding demolition, is now expected to be £1,195.000, a anving of £100,- 000 on the original plan.

The news that Sir Giles Scott la being commissioned by the London City Corporation to make a Aurvey af building surrounding Guildhall In view of their being rebuilt, is an encouraging sign of an official mind towards town-planning at the| heart of English affairs.

Miss Mackenzie fell under the influence of these suggestions.

A clean bill of health for Bruce, and from one who is probably as well acquainted with that most difficult period of Scottish history as anyone else now living! It la an event,

Neither treacherous nor con- temptible, Bruce stands forth as "the strong and beloved leader of A national struggle against heavy odds."

The writer who essays to trace the story of the period has every temptation to drop into daliness and stay there for many pages. ine author of this book generally contrives to keep out of the ser- bonian bog, and even away from the edge of it.
