necessary to comply with a smoke control order.
During the year, under the supervision of the Borough Engineer
and Surveyor's Building Inspection Section, there were erected and
equipped in accordance with the requirements of this byelaw:—
Privately built dwellings 87
Council built dwellings 16
Section 25 : Measurement of atmospheric pollution.
Thanks to the willing co-operation of the headmasters and staff
of the three schools concerned and of the management and staff of the
research laboratory, daily recording of the smoke and sulphur dioxide
content of the air, has remained in progress throughout the year at
the four measuring stations set up by the Department at:—
Kingsbury County Grammar School.
Wembley County Grammar School.
Claremont County Secondary School.
G.E.C. Research Laboratories, First Way, Exhibition
Grounds.
The early part of the year was notable for the severity of the
winter, but the later part had no parallel with the fogs which were
such a feature of 1962 and as a result the very high concentrations
then recorded, do not appear in this year's figures which are given
as daily averages in each monthly recording period in the following
tables (the periods are of four or five weeks rather than calendar
months).
