were approved, viz.:—
Resolved—That Section 24 (b) of the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, which provides that "any chimney (not being the
chimney of a private dwelling house) sending forth black smoke in
such quantities as to be a nuisance," shall be a nuisance liable to
be dealt with summarily under the Act, should be amended by the
deletion of the word "black."
