Studio: international art (64.1915)

Studio-Talk

A scheme which the London
Society has undertaken with a view
to finding employment for a certain
number of professional men who
have had their ordinary work en-
tirely stopped, or seriously inter-
fered with, by the war, has for its
object the preparation of a develop-
ment plan upon which future im-
provements for Greater London
may be based. Since the begin-
ning of the year work on the
preparation of this plan has been
proceeding in earnest under the
guidance of a powerful committee,
with Sir Aston Webb, R.A., as
chairman, and it has been decided
to divide the area of operations
into six sections, each in charge of
a gentleman with a special know-
ledge of the locality. As the survey
work involves a considerable out-
lay, the society is appealing for
funds to carry on this important
undertaking. _

time to time as occasion
offers, and also to open
shortly a permanent exhi-
bition at 13 and 14 Prince’s
Gate, S.W., which Mr. G.
Pierpont Morgan has very
generously placed at the
service of the Council for
the transaction of its
affairs.
