Smoke Abatement.—Ten instances of nuisances arising from
Smoke have been observed and dealt with.
Personal visits to the Factories concerned have proved that in
each case bad stoking and/or wrong fuel was the cause of the
nuisances. The persons responsible carried out all suggestions
made to abate the nuisances.
Premises and Occupations which can be Controlled by ByeLaws
or Regulations.—Vide "Sanitary Inspection of Area."
Other Sanitary Conditions Requiring Notice.—There are
several unoccupied pieces of land in the district which are a source
of complaint from time to time. In Higham Hill Ward there are
two such areas which are occasionally occupied as fair grounds and
another in Forest Road, while in Wood Street Ward there is another
piece of vacant land which gives rise to complaints. All frequently
become strewn with old tins and sometimes bedding.
When either of the foregoing sites are used as Fair Grounds daily
visits are paid to prevent nuisances arising and the Bye-laws as to
Tents, Vans, Sheds and Similar Structures are put into force, but
it is to be regretted that these Bye-laws are not sufficiently drastic
to meet the present requirements of the district as a whole. The
