Tredafs Times centaine a letter from Ifr. Mark Judge Making

a further appeal that the great street improvement in the Strand shall not be ruined by the London County Onuncil insisting on a line of frontage which will in effect run oat their new buildings at a hideous angle into what ought he one of the finest thoroughfares in the world. No doubt a, certain amount of Inow will be gained by the plan which now holds the field; but this seems to us exactly one of the cases where it is sound policy to spend a little money in order to increase the spaciousness and beauty of the capital. We sincerely wish the Strand Improvement Committee success in their crusade. No doubt they are asking for the expenditure of public money; but at any rate it is expenditure which will pauperise no one and lead to no annual charge, and will increase the "lung space" of Central London as well as add to its beauty.
