Daring the year the Council also made Croydon Smoke Control
(No. 3) Order which covers 3,915 dwellings and 586 industrial,
commercial etc. premises in an area of South Croydon abutting
areas 1 and 2. This Order will become operative on the 1st
October, 1962.
The District Inspectors have kept observation on the various
factory chimneys within their districts with a view to observing
any contravention of the Clean Air Act in respect of Snoke and
Grit Emissions. 56 such observations were made and in one instance
smoke was emitted for more than the statutory limit. The
management were immediately interviewed and informed of the
offence and advised- In no case did it become necessary to serve
a Statutory notice. During the year 41 plans showing the construction
and heights of new chimneys have been examined and in
26 cases additional height has been requested and agreed. 47
notices of the installation of new furnaces have been received,
38 of these being oil fired plants.
AMUSEMENT HOUSES
110 inspections were made of Theatres, Cinemas, Dance Halls,
and premises where stage plays are given. A report is submitted
annually to the Licensing Authorities on the sanitary conditions
of these premises. Notices are issued to remedy any unsatisfactory
conditions.
DISINFECTION

Lane. Two steam disinfectors are in use supplied with steam
from a gas fired boiler within the Station.
