The Act therefore deals with this smoke problem as follows:-
the prevention of smoke emission from domestic chimneys by
the creation of smoke control areas in which it is an offence
to emit smoke after the house appliances had been a dapted to
consume approved 'smokeless fuels', a portion of the cost
thereof being borne by the authority as to 3/10ths of approved
cost and by the Treasury as to 4/10ths, leaving the householder
or owner to pay the remaining 3/10ths. The Dorough
has progressed well in the creation of smokeless zones and
the following Smoke Control Orders are in operation, or will
come into operation on the dates stated:—
