Parliament has this week rejected the Bill of the London County Council to enable them to build a palatial home on the south side of Trafalgar Square. In the interest of the beautifying of the city this is perhaps to be regretted for the County Council, Radical body as it is, pays considerable regard to the artistic. All antiquarians, too, respect the Council for the care it bestows upon the preservation of relics fold London. There is, however, one relic of Elizabethan London which' has to go, and that is the block of houses between Holywell Street and the Strand; and it is not improbable that another block behind it will go too, and that London's County Hall will eventually rise in this fine central situation.
