OFFENSIVE FUMES FROM FACTORIES.
During the year 1909 four new oil engines were provided by an Electric
Supply Company; much nuisance was caused by offensive fumes emitted from
the chimney shaft receiving the exhaust pipes from these engines, and many
complaints were received.
The matter received much careful consideration, and various alterations
were carried out by the Company, and the exhaust pipes were carried up more
than 20 feet above the top of the chimney shaft. As further complaints were
received, the Company in 1910, carried up these exhaust pipes an additional
15 feet. Notwithstanding this, the nuisance continued from time to time.
Plans for the construction of a chimney stack of ferro-concrete, about 150 feet high,
were submitted to the London County Council. Since the completion of the work
no complaints have been received.
Complaints are occasionally received of nuisances from offensive fumes
from other premises which have been dealt with in former years. These are
now only due to some accident or temporary defect, and the nuisances are
soon abated.
SMOKE ABATEMENT.
The smoke shafts in the Borough were frequently kept under observation,
and in 117 cases the inspections were recorded. 8 intimation notices and 1
statutory notice were served.

Removal of Human Remains.
I received information that in the course of the demolition of the Great Queen
Street Wesleyan Chapel, certain coffins containing human remains had been
discovered. I was also requested by the Secretary of State for the Home Department
to investigate the matter and forward details of the same.
