II. Water.
Two samples of suspected well water were examined during
1904, but in neither case was any organic (or other) contamination
found.
SMOKE ABATEMENT.
During 1904 there have been made 540 special observations
and enquiries in connection with smoke abatement throughout
the Borough, as compared with 720, 679 and 620 during 1903,
1902 and 1901 respectively. This is an important duty,
and one that a Sanitary Authority is right in carrying out
rigorously.
During 1904, 46 smoke notices have been served, and the
nuisances abated. In no case was it found necessary to proceed
to summonses.

weekly during 1904 by the Borough Council's Smoke Inspector:—
