The London County Council has now been fifteen years in the making of its great map of London. This extraordinary map, when complete, will show every house in the capital, and he a complete guide for all local authorities. Already the work has cost £15,000, and there is no telling where the cost will end. Two years ago a start was made with the ownership, for every owner is to be marked on this great map, which will be a sort of Doomesday Book. The map will represent 114 square miles. The Union of South Africa has a total area of 470,000 square miles, with a population approaching 6,000,000.
