Smoke Nuisances.
Although there have been several complaints as to the amount
of smoke issuing from various shafts, there have been no proceedings
taken, except in one case, and that was in respect to the
engine " Southend," belonging to the London, Tilbury and Southend
Railway Company. The proceedings were taken upon my. report
by the London County Council, and the railway company was
fined 60s.
Offensive Matter.
Two summonses were taken out at the Thames Police Court with
respect of offensive matter being conveyed through the streets in
an improper manner. In each case a fine of 23s. was inflicted with
20s. costs.
