REBUILT ADDIS ABABA
ITALY’S £33,000,000 PLAN ROME, July 20. Italy’s plans to rebuild Addis Ababa, the capital of Abyssinia, and make it a model city have been completed, and work will begin after the rainy season in October. It is estimated that the work will cost £33,000,000, spread over three years. Another £8.000,000 will be spent by private enterprise. All raw materials will have to be obtained from the mother country, but experts have been sent from Italy to find wood on the spot suitable for buildin'g purposes, for fuel, and for furniture.
