and cunning practitioners to the further
detriment of the creation of high architec-
ture in our time. Thus the work of the
architect becomes still more onerous, and
the increased technical demand on modern
buildings still further complicates his task.
The architect of the City Hall, Professor
Ragnar Ostberg, has in this work given
Swedish architecture a genuine creation
rich in beauty and imagination, carried
out with power and personality, a living
fabric for which we wish a long and happy
future. The waves on the sea of art have
both troughs and crests, and winds may
blow there from many quarters. Every
art epoch has its love and its dreams to
fulfil, every time its own demands and
needs. Often they can destroy the lasting
creations of architecture for purposes of
utility, but they may also enrich and
augment their values. The City Hall is a
monument to our time which we desire to
be preserved for future generations, and
it is worthy to be adorned and enriched
only with the best in the future. When it
grows mellow with age it deserves to do
so beautifully. 0000

and in the concert halls ; that is to say,
other personalities are not safe from his
pen, only he has made the theatre world
his particular hunting ground. 0 0
