The scheme which include widening and improving existing rondo, sumber ab undon on mostly in the country of Middlesex, of which special mention must be made of the Great West Rond end the North Circular Road, both aotully under 030true ion. The former planned by the Road Board over eight years ago. in 64 miles in length, and, beginning at Kow Bridge (seven miles from Hyde Park corner) runs into the Bath Road, went of Hounal It will cost about 720, 000, pounds sterling or about 140, 000 pounds sterling a mile. The latter road which will connect up the roads to the west and south west of London with hose running towards the north and northeart, involves the construction of over Site miles of entirely now road 54 and the improvement miles of ted.

It hoped that this road will be ready by next summer, while the Great West Rand is expe is expected to be fici bed by the spring of few words as to construcțion. The foundation of the Great West Rond will be of reinforced concrete, nine inches thisk, laid on twelve inobes of hard core asbo. On the top of the concrete is being placed a oarpet, two insbes deep of compressed rock asphalt.

The canalisation of this tributary was undertaken by a great Britieh engineer, John Smeston; in ia the midd:o of the eighteenth century, with the result that it is navigable from the Thames to Hertford, a distance of co nearly twenty eight miles, The fall be ween the Hartford and the Thamos is 109 feet. to deal with which nineteen locks bavo ben constructed The last och coneiderablo improvement was carried out in 1850; and since then very little has been done except to re onstruct and improve the locks on eleven mils of th lower reach of the river. All the locks above this point are the original work of Smeaton, which fact may be held to illustrate, Locording to the point of view, the enervativa nature of the English or the soundness of their engineering work. Be that as it may, it has now been decided to reconstruct nine of the locks between Enfield and Her. ford and at the same time to undertake dredging operations. To carry out the work it has not been thought ndossary to drain the river, which we may say in paning noted for its fish, but dams will be onstructed above and below enob lock learing the water is the reached between them, Though navigation will only be interrupted for about four months, dur.
