The New London

SIR,—One can only suppose that boredom begets boredom, but could not Lucilio make some suggestions how the " well-informed support and constructive criticism " demanded by the L.C.C. be brought into being ?

The large and only decipherable map at County Hall is too expen- sive for most people to buy; but should not every Londoner try to study the changes that are proposed for his own district ? He might look into what is to be preserved and what destroyed; the way his daily transport will be affected, the addition to the rates, and perhaps how his whole way of life may be changed. Finally, is it not important that we should all consider how we can try to preserve the essential spirit of the civilisation which exists, which alone can make so great a change an integral growth ?—Yours faithfully, 18 Westmoreland Terrace, S.W.1.
