London’s Narrow Streets.

A proposed law that any new building erected in London shall have its front not less than twenty feet from the middle of the street has brought out the fact that there are in the heart of the city thirty-two miles of streets less than forty feet broad. If the principle were generally applied, on a plan of reconstruction of streets, land to the value of about $40,000,000 would be sacrificed.
