LONDON sHUNs sKYsCRAPERs

London.-The old question OF
whether or not London is to have sky
scrapers is being revived because Of
the high price of property in the busi-
ness section and the lack of space in
ofice buildings. Generally speaking
London does not like tall buildings
Percy Tubbs, past president of the
Society Of Architects, declared that if
the skyscraper was to come it would
be necessary to widen the streets.
"Space in London. however, is not
so scarce as it is in New York, which
is an island" he said.
American architects who are here
erecting a huge apartment store have
repeatedly asked permission to extend
the main building high enough to ac-
commodate not only the present busi-
ness of the concern, but to provide for
the future, and have met with no en-
couragement.

cation held this morning in the court

give this school $500 for the purpose
of building the music annex and the
domestic science department, and
