LONDON SEEMS DUE
FOR BUILDING BOOM

London. June 1S.-London, which
travellers maintain changes more
slowly than any other great capital,
is yielding to the necessity Of provid-
ing for continued inrushes of popula-
ton. There are a Indications that
the city is on the eve of an unpre-
cedented ear of rebuilding.
Instead of stretching further into
the beautiful country lying immedi-
ately outside its bounds. the predict
ed building bpom is likely to be a
process of t%iphtening UP and leveline
up by better utilization of wasted
: spaces and acceptance Of the An1eri-
can skyscraper idea.
Evidences OF the last-named influ-
ence are to be seen today along Lon
don's newest downtown thoroughfare
-kingsway-ncar tho Strand. Here
a number of buildings. either built
by Americans or designed foriAmeri-
can occupancy, are in the process OF
construction. Shortage Of skilled
men in the building trades and hin.
ORANGES due to England's leasehold
system are the main handicaps, bu'
the fact remains that London is verg
ing toward marked physical changes
