This London Improvement. like all the costly
projects which have preceded 1t. has been car
ried out at the expense Of the general taxpayer.
The act authorizing 1t would have been thrown
out by the House OF Lords II there had been
any clause providing for special taxation on any
betterment principle. When the worn is COM
pleted the values of property in adjacent streets
in what was a squalid and woehegone
quarter will be raised and landowners will be
materially benefited without being forced TO
contribute to the cost in special assessments.
The unearned increment. OF which Socialist agi-
tators have so much to say. comes in whenever
any great improvement scheme Is adopted any
where In Great Britain. Equity requires the
charging OF portion of the expense OF pave
ment a or a park against property
which is directly benefited. This cannot be
done while the House Of Lords assumes a gen
eral protectorate over the interests and priv
ileges OF landowners. Property owners are fully
compensated for all losses caused by the demOli-
ton OF buildings and the interruption OF bust
ness along the line OF Aldwych and Kings
way; but no charges are levied against them
for special benefit. This is a reform against
which British conservatism is so sody in
trenched that any change In the method of
financing local improvements seems hopeless.

London, October II.
London remains century after century in
continuous state of transition. The Norman city
had its grim. silent monasteries the Plantagenet
capital it's ornate friaries and Tudor London its
playhouses and street pageants. The Stuart city
was as famous for its taverns for lingo
Joness classic designs, and with the Restoration
came Pail Mall. St James's Square and some
OF the big Piccadnly houses. After the great
fire timber fronts were condemned and a city
OF stone and brick with Wren's dome and spires
piercing the gray sky reappeared in q maze of
winding alleys and narrow streets. That was
a crowning opportunity for reconstruction on
stately lines and Sir Christopher had a splendid
plan with thoroughfares nearly a hundred feet
in width crossing another at right angles,
and spacious waterfront from the Temple to
the Tower. That design would have laid the
foundations Of an imperial city and have dis
pensed with many costly schemes Of improve
ment during future generations, but staid, pro-
sale merchants and members of guilds were
frightened ny it, and old lines were retained.
Next came Queen Anne's sham-classic churches,
marvels of ugliness and vulgarity, like the four
legged Church of st. John the Evangelist, West
minister; and the West End of the time OF the
Georges was as solid and gloomy as dull ar
chtecture could make It until the Scottish
promoted a revival OF public taste With the
nineteenth century one improvement scheme fol-
lowed another Belgravia was created; Re
gent's-st with the Quadrant opened from
st. James's TO Regents Park the Houses OF
Parliament were built on a large scale from
pattern OF unrivalled splendor-the Henry VII
Chapel; Cannon and Queen Victoria SITS fol-
lowed each other; the Thames Embankment
was reconstructed at high cost: and now a new
thcroughfare not unlike Wren's projected north
and-south avenues is to be opened by the King
this month from the historic Strand to High
Holborn.
The Kingsway is a highway a hundred feet
in width opening into a crescent equally broad
with approaches from the Strand For many
months it has been barren mo-aine of bricks
and crumbling mortar and timber; but the
ground has been cleared. the subway for trains
constructed and the shells of ancient ware
houses and dwellings cut away on either side
with sharp lines Of cleavage At High HoIborn
1t divides the huge Hoborn Restaurant from
the site of new railway station. Bevond HOLY
