LONDON, December 18
The opening of the eight millions sterling Mersey tunnel, which is designed to expedite traffic between Lancashire and Cheshire when fog impedes the ferries has strangely coincided with the; densest fog for years, demonstrating that the ratepayers are getting their money’s worth. When one thousand people were in a hurry, they joined forty thousand sightseers, paying sixpence each, to walk (thorough the tunnel, 'thus .providing £1250 for Xmas dinners for the poor. This probbaly is the only accasibn-tn which the tunnel will be used by pedestrians.
The fog extended ’from Cornwall to the Scottish border, except for the south-eastern corner of England.
