Railways in London We were very glad to see in

the Times of Tuesday a letter from Mr. Alfred C. Bossom, the well-known architect, suggesting a solution of no fewer than three pressing problems. To electrify all the railways within a certain radius of the centre of London would simultaneously create employment, free all the space over the railways for building or roadways, and considerably abate the smoke nuisance. Surely London can do, at great gain to herself, what not only New York, where money is plentiful, but Prague and other European cities of far less wealth have already done.
