Smoke Abatement.
All factory and works chimneys have been observed
at frequent intervals. No proceedings have been taken
against the owners for emitting black smoke so as to be
a nuisance. I received complaints from the Coal Smoke
Abatement Society during the year and immediately
served Notices with reference to same. The observations
kept by myself and assistant numbered 19. I have to
record the valuable assistance in the suppression of
smoke nuisances which I have received from the
Inspector to the Coal Smoke Abatement Society.
