Clean Air.
It will be seen that our programme is progressing satisfactorily.
The various factors governing progress were largely outlined last
year and do not require repetition.
Certain factors such as the number of persons applying for grant and
the matter of objections are outwith local control, as, of course is the
approval to and date of commencement of any Area.
May I again emphasise that the ordinary household chimney is a
major cause of pollution and that if the householders will do their best
with their chimneys, we will do ours with any other than household
sources of smoke.
