LETTER FROM LONDON

ARCHITECT'S REWARD

SIMON VICTIM OF CARICATURISTS

London, Oct. 23,

Sir Giles Scott is to receive £6.260 altogether as architect of the new Waterloo Brides, This sum was agreed an in 1932 when Bir Giles drew un his first lan for the Bridge. He was paid a thou- sand guineas then and the L.C.C. on Tuesday will be naked to vote the balance of the fee, 4,000 gulnens. The cost of the work, In- cluding demolition, is now expected to be £1,195,000, a saving of £100,- 000 on the original plan,

The news that Sir Giles Scott is being commissioned by the London City Corporation to make a survey of building surrounding Guildhall in view of their being rebuilt, is an encouraging sign of an offlcini mind towards town-planning at the heart of English affairs. The long Inquest on innovation at Carlton 1fouse Terrace and the insistent demand for special consideration of the area adjacent to St. Paul's have awnkened the public consciousness In a matter which no less important- ly arises in connection with the neighbourhood of the noble civie centre of the greatest urban connell in the world.

W,, in to carry on although a petition for winding-up of the limited company which owns the business has been presented in the High Court. understand it is unlikely that the restaurant will be closed, whatever the result of the legal preceedings. Oddenino's, for years one of the best known of London's evening resorts, and a centre of Bohemian- ism in the West End, was founded In 1901 by Auguste Oddenino, native of Turin,. He was a great restauranteur and in a short time. his business became a very lucrative one. Some of the greatest people in the country became his patrons, and he made a fortune. Invent- ments, however, turned out badly for him, and after the war his affairs became involved. When the new Oddenino' was built during the reconstruction of Regent Street five years ago, the control of the business passed from him and a

took it over. Od. denino died, a poor man, at the end, of last year.
