The greater part. of this build- ing eras consumed in the Great Fire of‘ 1666. A coittempornry said Lhat it glowed "like a bright. shitt- ing coal as if it had been a palace of gold or o great. building of bur- nished brass",

Just, as in 1940. the roof tell in and only the four walls remained. sir Christopher Wren was called in to make good the ruins but was unabio to give the Guildhall much of his attention with his preoc- cupation in designing the new St. Paul's Cathedral and pariah chumhea of the city associated with his name. He designed t; tem- porary flat. roof which was duly installed. That temporary roof re- mnined in existence for nearly 200 years!

U O O

In 1864. after tong deliberation. it was decided to give the hall n more worthy roof and a now one wait erected at. n cost. of £26,010 to the design of Sir Horace Jones. the City Architect. It was this roof which perished in the blitz.

other changes to the appearance of the building hld been mule eur- tier in the century, notably the reconstruction of the front. and the flmous‘ auto entrance by architect George Dance. Further additions were made‘ in 1846 when l. west wing was added. while the present library building ‘Ill erected In

J. t‘. lloweu who retires at the end of this month as Ueutenattt Governor of Alberta. has served longer than any other lieut. governor in any province in Catiadiait history. almtrt f8 years. Al. the age of 7i he is en- titled to lay down all public re- sponsibilities mid conserve his health and cultivate hi» personal inclinations, ‘

His career has been wcii roziittlcd out. In his younger day's lie was a Baptist minister in Western Can- ada. and then connected for sev- eral years with welfare work in Edmonton, He served overseas as a ritaplaiit in the l-‘irsf. World War. had a term on the Edmonton City Council and on the Alberta Leg- tslaturc. fie then went. into busi- ness for himself. and finally was called on as His ‘Majesty's perronal representative in Alocrta.-—C:\lgnr_v Albertan.

In declining an offer from flot- terdam to erect a mamtorlal tn his honor, Mr. Churchill has given it, as his opinion that "memorial and lttflfillili0lii5 sliotild not he prepared or erected during the lifetime of the person concerned."

Perhaps he may he influenced to some ardent. by t1. discouraging pro- cedent. There nab ilie case of Wei- llngton. About. a century znzo there. was a scheme proposed by Sir Fredeifc ‘frcitrlt lo putt W_vtit.t's equestrian statue of tho duke. the first. instance of an equestrian stat.- ue erected ln London to a stibject. on top or the archway opposite Ansley House. Most people thought. that. it was absurd and tn had, taste to place the statue there. It was, however, rvzreed to erect, it. provisionally‘. but. once there. the duke sitowcd great. irritation at the idea of removing it. which he de- clared would be an litdignity.

So. in spite of public opinion. it: was allowed to stay till 188-4. when it was removed to AldcrsltoL-Man- chester Guardian.
