Fortnightly reports in connection with smoke have been presented
by the Public Health Committee to the Council during
the year.
The Act lays down that black smoke only is a nuisance liable
to be dealt with summarily under the Nuisance Clauses, and
there is, consequently, great differences of opinion (at times) as
to what is, and what is not, black smoke. Further, is a Sanitary
Authority justified in allowing a definite amount of black
smoke, e.g., 5-10 minutes per hour? Most Authorities do, to
cover stoking, etc.
