MESSAGE TO HOUSEHOLDERS
It is anticipated that all Fulham will be a smoke controlled area within the
next nine years, which means that more and more people will find it necessary to
use SOLID SMOKELESS FUELS.
OPEN FIRE COKE is the only one of these in ample supply, and the purpose of
this message is to say that if you have a suitable type fireplace and follow the
simple rules for its use. OPEN FIRE GAS COKE (now being sold in this district as
"GLOCO") can be recommended as an entirely satisfactory fuel, suitable in all respects
for domestic fires.
All new grates if installed so as to obtain Council grants towards cost of
conversions will operate efficiently on OPEN FIRE GAS COKE".
The Chairman of the Public Health Committee, Councillor J. W. Perotti, also
repeated the message at the Council meeting on the 18th March.
