Noxious Fumes and Black Smoke.
Public Health (London) Act, 1891, Sections 23 and 24.
Several complaints have been received of the emanation of
noxious fumes from the chimney shaft of Niagara-hall. In
April last an "intimation" was served on the secretary of the
Company to abate the nuisance, and whilst the place was
closed in the summer the chimney shaft was raised much
higher, the condenser enclosed, and the boiler-power increased,
with the result that, since the re-opening of the hall in
November, only slight noxious smells have been occasioned in
the neighbourhood, and when complaints have been made,
Inspector Dee has not been able to trace them to the works in
question.
Several cases of the excessive issue of black smoke have
occurred in the United Parishes. In only one case in St.
Margaret's parish was it necessary to take proceedings, viz.,
against the proprietors of Queen Anne's-mansions, with the
result that they were fined five guineas and five pounds costs.
In St. John's parish 16 complaints were made during the
year. In most instances the owners of the premises have
effected improvements which have prevented a recurrence of the
nuisance. Statutory notices were served in two cases only.
