PALACE OF JUSTICE

NEW BUILDING IN PERSIA. BEING EQUIPPED BY LONDON ENGINEERS. — Britain has received from Persia, in competition with Germany, contracts to a total value of £130,000. The largest of them, worth £lOO,OOO, is for the Palace of Justice, a building of 4,000,000 cubic feet, for which London engineers are carrying out the heating, ventilating, air-conjilitioning, hot and cold water and fire-prevention systems, kitchen, laundry and steam and condense equipment and cooking utensils. The building has a hospital, with operating theatre, for which the Medical Supply Association, London, have provided an operation table and sterilising equipment as up-to-date as any used in London. ■ Thirty-two miles of electric cable and 5,000 lamps are being used in the equipment of the University buildings by London electrical engineers, among them the existing Faculty of Medicine, the new Faculties of Technique and Law, two large workshops, and a students’ hostel and restaurant with accommodation for 1,200 students. Electric power has been brought by underground cable about 44 miles from Teheran’s central power station to the University site. . Of all the material so far shipped from England to Persia only about 2 per cent has been lost by enemy action.
