SMOKE ABATEMENT.
Special attention has been paid to the Smoke Nuisance during
the year 1900, and 711 observations and enquiries have been
made. In the cases where it has been found necessary to resort
to proceedings before the Magistrate, exemplary fines have been
imposed, e.g., the South London Electricity Supply Co., Limited,
and the New London Brewery—in the former a total of £50
in penalties during the year and £13 in costs, and in the latter
£17 10s. in penalties and 6s. in costs.
105 Smoke Notices have been served, and the nuisances
abated without it being necessary to proceed to summonses.
The result has been a marked improvement in connection with
nuisances from black smoke in Lambeth Parish.
