From the point of view of am increase in the rateable value of the Metropolis the change is proving beneficial to sn astonishing extent, When Devonshire House was merely the town house of the Cavendish family its rateable value slopg with the grounds, was just over £4,000. The site of the bouse and garden is mow filled with an hotel, a block of palatial flats, and commercial offices, and the rateable value is £80,000-- twenty times as much 8s it was at the close of the war. There is still much of the ground to be built upon, and when this is ac- complished it is estimated that the rateable value will have increased to £120,000. ; The rebuilding of Regent street and the widening of the Strand are producing the same efect.
