RENOVATING ST. PAUL’S
WORK NEARLY FINISHED Seventeen years’ work of renovating and strengthening St. Paul’s Cathedral is gradually nearing an end. The reinstatement of the huge electric organ, a four months’ task, has been started, while the final finishing touches probably will be complete in a year. The temporary barriers that have shut off nearly half the historic church from the public will be removed next June, and plans are already being made for a Thanks-
giving service to be held. After the installation of the organ, which has been electrified and modernised in every respect, the principal work to be completed is the refacing of the strengthened columns supporting the dome, and I their recarving.
