The ouncil have adopted the Building Byelaw, referred to
in Section 24 of the Act, requiring the installation of approved
heating and cooking appliances, capable of burning smokeless

in the Borough and have approved a plan for dealing with the
whole borough extending over a period of approximately ten
years.
An exhibition staged at the Laurie Hall during October,
provided stands showing aspects of atmospheric pollution, methods
of recording types of appliances and fuel necessary in a smokeless
zone.
Considerable enthusiasm and energy was displayed by the
Public He th Inspectors and local merchants in staging the
exhibition, but the low numbers of general public attending was
disappointing.
The exhibition served to inaugurate the commencement of
smoke control in the Borough and surveys in the first two zones
have been commenced.
