SMOKE ABATEMENT.
During 1903, there have been made 720 special observations
and enquiries in connection with smoke abatement throughout
the Borough, as compared with 679 and 620 during 1902 and
1901. This is an important duty, and one that a Sanitary
Authority is right in carrying out rigorously
During 1903, 60 smoke notices have been served, and the
nuisances abated. In one case (Charing Cross and Strand
Electricity Supply Company, Limited) it was found to be
necessary to proceed to summonses, and a fine of £10 (with
£2 2s. Od. costs) was inflicted by the Magistrate.

weekly during 1903:—
Charing Cross and Strand Electricity Supply Company, 85,
