The Committee met three times during the year and a
useful exchange of information took place, particularly
on legal and administrative problems arising from the
operation of Smoke Control Areas and the installation of
new industrial plant with the consequent problems of
heights of chimneys.
One meeting of the Committee, in September, was held
at Ealing in conjunction with the combined Clean Air and
Clean Pood Exhibition. At this meeting a discussion on
Supplies of Solid Smokeless Fuels now and in the future,
was introduced by representatives of the Society of Coal
Merchants, the North Thames Gas Board, and the Coal
Utilisation Council. The National Coal Board film, "Arthur
clears the Air" was also shown to members of the Committee.
There is no doubt that the formation of this Committee
has been fully justified and has led to a considerable
degree of uniformity of action within the area.
