supported by the Magistrates, who have inflicted exemplary
fines in two cases, as follow: Charing Cross & Strand
Electrical Supply Co., £45; Messrs. Clowes & Sons, £70;
with £4 10s. and 14/0 in costs respectively. The Electricity
Supply Co. (South London), Bengeworth Road, were fined
£2, with £1 costs; and Messrs. Clowes, on a former conviction,
£5 and 2s. costs.
Speaking generally, a decided improvement has taken

as hitherto, to pollute the atmosphere with dense volumes
of black smoke, which are a nuisance and injurious and
dangerous to health.

by the Inspector during the year:—
