From the London Express.
One OF our artists has recently been to
America. where the air Is full Of the
A~mericanisation Of London-so much so
that he became literally obsessed with
ideas on this subject; nor could he rid HIM
self of them on his return. So. in the fer
vent hope Of being able to unburden his
mind. he has perpetrated the above draw
ing. in which he has e~ndeavored to embody
the various notions that haunt him day
and night.
When placed before you In q mass. 50 to
speak. you are apt to look upon the whole
thing as only less improbable than II 10
farcical; yet II many OF the ideas set forth
above are considered by themselves the
conclusion you will come to after some re-
Election will probably ba that there are
many more unlikely things than these that
nay yet come to pass. especially II our en-
terprising cousins continue to cater for our
pleasure and convenience. and for their own

ton to establish its claims in the courts Then every
body would have been satisfied AS It is, the whole
thing has ugly appearance.
There is another feature of this matter which
perhaps is the gravest OF all Under the old contract
the city has the option purchase the plant at the
expiration OF twenty-five years but in the event of
failure to do 80 the contract by express language is
continued The plain effect of this is that unless the
city actually purchases the plant of the company at
some stated time the contract indefinitely.
This advantage Of the company It is believed has been
forfeited by failure to live up to its contract in the
past; but the contract would condone for speci.
eu consideration, all sins Of omission in the past and
reinstate the company in its original position This
idea leads to conclusionshrs that Mayor Brasil
