It is pleasing to record that in spite of the economic 'squeeze' the
Council has continued to implement its long term policy of attaining in
due course a smoke controlled Borough.
In pursuance of this policy No. 9 Smoke Control Order was made in
December, 1966 and has since been confirmed by the Minister subject to
a minor amendment.
In concluding this introduction to the report, I should like to express
my appreciation of the support and encouragement of the Chairman, ViceChairman
and members of the various Committees, the guidance and
confidence of Dr. Wright and the very willing help and loyalty of the whole
of my staff.
