Smoke Abatement.
61 observations were made and 34 nuisances recorded. 14 complaints
were received from the London County Council. 11 intimations were
served. In addition, 24 cautions were sent and in 2 instances Works
Managers were interviewed. It was not necessary to institute legal
proceedings in any instance.
In this connection it should be mentioned that no formal action is
taken on the receipt of a complaint by the London County Council, but
observation is kept by our own inspectors and nuisances are then
followed up.
Methods of observation and standards in use since 1927 are similar
to those of the Coal Smoke Abatement Society.
Smoke and Grit—Electricity Station.
During the year communications were received from the London
County Council regarding the emission of smoke and grit from certain
shafts at the Council's Electricity Station. This matter had for some
time received the careful consideration of the Borough Electrical Engineer.
The Public Health Committee asked the two representatives of the
Council (The Mayor and Councillor Mr. G. Anderson) to attend a meeting
of the Council of the National Smoke Abatement Society in London on
3rd June, 1932.
