Smoke Abatement.
59 observations were made and 17 nuisances recorded. 33 complaints
were received from the London County Council. 6 intimations and 2
notices were served. In addition, 7 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 is still receiving
the attention of the Borough Electrical Engineer and the Electricity
Committee of the Council.

The report of the Inspector is given on page 27.
Offensive Trades.
Three applications to establish anew offensive trade businesses, have
been dealt with during the year. These applications arose on account
of major extensions or alterations in connection with businesses which
had been already approved by the London County Council.
Subject to the carrying out of certain works, the three applications
were sanctioned:—
(1) Dresser of Furskins at 43, White Post Lane. (Order granted to
31st March, 1937.)
(2) Dresser of Furskins at 10-16, Aberfeldy Street.
(3) Dresser of Furskins at 184, Bow Road. (Order granted to 31st
