SMOKE NUISANCE.
Complaints of nuisances caused by smoke to tlie number of 13 have
come to hand during 1905.
Seven referred to chimneys of private houses, and consequently did
not eome within the operation of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891.

Observations were kept in each case, and five of the complaints
were found to be well founded, four of which were abated on the service
of notice. In the remaining instance the nuisance was found to arise
from three engines used by a contractor carrying out the widening of
the Midland Railway at Mill Lane, and as he had been previously
cautioned, proceedings were ordered to be taken against him, and
resulted in a penalty of £2 and costs being imposed in each case.
