(c) All post war privately built houses.
(d) Council houses not included in (b) and
owner/occupied houses constructed be
tween 1919 and 1945.
(e) The remaining private houses constructed
between 1919 and 1945 and pre war
Council houses.
(f) All remaining premises.
NOTE It should be understood that the above
mentioned order of inclusion is no more than
a flexible guide. It is probable that Smoke
Control Areas will for geographical reasons
often have to include premises out of sequence.
(3) That Smoke Control areas should wherever poss
ible be separated from uncontrolled areas by
a belt of open space in order to avoid a
situation arising where it would be an offence
to emit smoke from a house on one side of the
street but not on the other.
(4) That Council owned premises should figure pro
minently in the first Smoke Control Areas
to be declared in order to demonstrate in the
best possible way the Councils firm belief
in clean air.
Since the Clean Air Bill was first introduced all
applicants for byelaw approval of new buildings have by
arrangement with the Engineer and Surveyor been informed
of the possible effect of this new legislation and been
requested to instal at the outset grates boilers or
furnaces capable of smokeless operation. By arrangement
with the Estates Manager a special appeal was addressed
to the tenants of all Council houses fitted with draught
controlled firegrates pointing out the advantage of using
smokeless fuels in these grates and asking them to use
this type of fuel.
The film Guilty Chimneys" was shown several times
at the Town Fete, held in the Town Hall Park in June and
the subject of clean air figured prominently in the display
arranged at the Queens Hall in November in connection with
the Annual Delegate Conference.
