The improvement reported in previous years with
regard to the efficiency of the operation of the industrial
plants in Kingston has been maintained, It is
fortunate that the majority of the installations in the
town are relatively small, many of them have been converted
to oil firing with a consequent improvement in the final
operation and a considerable diminution in the amount of
smoke and grit.
With regard to the recording of atmospheric pollution
in Kingston, three standard deposit gauges are maintained
by the Corporation and were located after consultation with
the Department of Scientific Research,, The gauges are placed
in Canbury Gardens, at Tiffin Girls' School and the Cemetery,
Bonner Hill Road, and are, for the purposes of report,
referred to as 'A', 'B' and 'C' respectively.
The following tables give the results of analysis
together with rainfall and wind readings. The figures are
from observations made to show the effect when the prevailing
wind was blowing from industrial works towards the recording
stations.
