(x) CLEAN AIR ACT, 1956.-The Council has agreed that the

No. 2 — South Hainault 1.7.1963.

No. 6 — South Hainault and Goodmayes 1.8.1965.
Further areas are the subject of detailed inspections with a view to
the preparation of future Orders.
(xi) ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION.—Complaints were received of
alleged smoke nuisance in 9 instances from 7 factories in the Grove Road,
Newbury Park, Seven Kings and Hainault areas. In 8 instances no emission
was noted which would have enabled action to be taken under the Public
Health Act, 1936, or Clean Air Act, 1956. One informal notice was served
and complied with.
Three stations for measurement of atmospheric pollution have been
installed in the Borough as follows:—
No. 1 — Gantshill Library
No. 2 — John Bramston School
No. 3 - Ilford Town Hall
Each station has a volumetric apparatus.
