SPECTATOR COMPETITION No. io8
Set by A. D. C. Peterson Competitors are asked to assume that they are junior officials in a Ministry of Town and Country Planning, and that during their first week of office they receive an application for licence to erect any one of the following buildings : St. Paul's cathedral, Fonthill, Magdalen College, St. Pancras Station, St. Thomas's Hospital, the new Pimlico flats. A prize of £5, which may be divided, is offered for an excerpt of not more than 300 words from their minute and draft reply. It is recommended that, however ageless the sentiments, the language should be contemporary with the building chosen. Competitors who recommend that the plans should be passed without further delay will, of course, be disqualified.
Entries must be addressed to the Spectator, 99 Gower Street, London, W.C.1, in envelopes marked " Competition," and must be received not later than March 19th. Results will be published in the Spectator of March 28th.
