are set out in the table (page 99) and these relate to the position on 31st December,

SMOKE CONTROL AREAS
The amalgamation of the three Boroughs provided an opportunity to re-examine
the original clean air programmes and to combine them into a new scheme which
should result in the Borough being completely covered by Smoke Control Orders
by 1972, this date being some two years ahead of the original completion date.
During 1965, five new Smoke Control Orders were made by the Council. These
related to Areas Nos. 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 covering 1,511 acres, and including 8,250
dwellings and 404 other buildings. Of these Orders, Nos. 21 and 22 were confirmed
by the Minister of Housing and Local Government and come into operation on
1st July, 1966, and 1st August, 1966, respectively. Orders Nos. 23 and 24 were
submitted to the Minister and were awaiting confirmation at the end of the year, and
Order No. 25 was about to be submitted for confirmation. During 1965, the following
Orders became operative: Acton Nos. 10 and 11, Ealing Nos. 18, 19 and 20,
and Southall No. 6.
Surveys of Areas Nos. 26 and 27 were nearing completion at the end of the year
and the preliminary work on Areas Nos. 28-31 had been commenced.
The following table and map give details of the progress made up to the end of
