Most of the Smoke made can be prevented, and
if the owners would pay attention to the following
details I feel certain there would be little cause for
complaint; taking, of course, in consideration the
particular circumstances of each case.
(1) See that the chimneys are carried to a
sufficient height;
(2) The top of the chimney must be seen from
the firing-hole;
(3) Firing lightly;
(4) Firing oftener;
(5) Admitting the necessary air to the furnaces ;
(6) Shutting it off when necessary.

Experience teaches us which streets require most
attention. In some streets the House to House work
proceeds rapidly, as little is required to be done; while
in others it is almost one continual inspection and reinspection.
