SMOKE ABATEMENT.
This district is very free from atmospheric pollution, the
chief offenders being the gas works about which complaints are
at times received regarding nuisances from dust and soot, and a
timber workshop which at times causes smoke by burning waste.
During the year 30 observations were carried out. During the
690 minutes' observation black smoke was seen for only one minute,
dense smoke for 73/8 minutes and moderate smoke for 250½ minutes.
