Abstract
IN devoting its April issue to "Electricity in its Regional Setting" the Architectural Review has rendered a real public service. The review of the whole situation, including recent public inquiries at Durham and Lincoln, the work of the Electricity Commissioners, the Central Electricity Board and the newly formed North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board, which the Association for Planning and Regional Reconstruction has produced for this issue is admirably presented and is not only of particular interest to the scientific worker but also to every citizen concerned with the development of national resources and the preservation of amenities. Taken as a whole, it explores the shallowness of the pretensions of hydro-electric schemes for the Highlands to have anything in common with the ideas and procedure of the Tennessee Valley Authority, and it is strong indictment of the Government's persistent refusal to deal with the question of a real central planning authority.
