Effluvium Nuisance
During 1918 a petition, signed by 20 inhabitants of the neigh
bourhood, was received with reference to an alleged effluvium
nuisance in connection with premises in Over Place, Prince's Road,
used for bacon drying and bacon curing by means of smoke obtained
from the combustion of fine creosoted sawdust. A summons was
taken out, and eventually adjourned sine die, the nuisance being
abated meanwhile by the collection and washing by sprays of water
of the effluvia before allowing them to pass into the outside air
through the chimney shaft.
