It frequently happens that a single sanitary notice specifies
many defects needing abatement.
Smoke Abatement.
Chimneys are at all times under general observation,
special detailed observations being made at intervals, or when
complaints are received. Responsible persons are interviewed,
and letters of warning sent, or notices served when occasions
for such action arise. The smoke rising from Railway
Engines at a large Railway Centre in the Borough is very
appreciable. The same may be said in respect to ships in the
Docks when stoking is in progress.
The number of warnings and notices issued during the
year was 175.
Readings of atmospheric impurity are not taken.
