An ideal location near the waters edge has been found and tho enterprise will get under way in the near future, under plans of Thor Tocrnblad, Swedish civil engineer.
 Opposition has arisen against the project in some quarters. AL bert Lilienberg, city plan direc- tor. is one who looks askance at the idea, contending that the pro. posed skyscraper will strike a dis cordant note in the general build. ing scheme of Stockholm and that it's height will smother the charm of many famous edifices and pal aces.
 The erection of the skyscraper however, is not considered an in. superable task, even in nation with no tall buildings. Stockholm will shortly open an ultra.fsshion.
