AT a MEETING of PARTIES using STEAM EN-
of and other FURNACES, interested in the question
Smoke Consumption, held on Monday, June 5, 1848, at the
Clarendon Rooms, Liverpool,—
t WALTER F. MAGGREGOR, Esq., in the Chair,—
was unimously resolved:—
3. L That ian n the Liverpool Sanatory Act, taking effect from Ist
anuarY, 1847, there is a clause (126) relating to the consump-
tion of Smoke, in which occur the following words :
"That all furnaces employed in the working of engines
shall be constructed so as to prevent or consume their own
smoke ; and if any person shall use any furnace which shall
not be so constructed, or shall negligently use any such fur-
noaucentwiertaecotet using the best practical means for preventing or
in
`A' such annoyance, every such person so offend-
ing shall forfeit a sum not exceeding .e 5 for every day during
which such furnace or annoyance shall be used and continued
after one month's notice.
2. That this meeting is most desirous to conform to the re-
quirements of this Clause, to the best of their ability and Of
their understanding.
3. That in the opinion of this Meeting, the fair and honest
Meaning of the clause is, that they shall do their utmost to
consume, or prevent the emission of Smoke from their Chim-
IleYs, by adoptin,g such methods as their own experience, or
hat of others, shall point out to them to be most conducive to
the end desired, and most applicable to the peculiar circum-
stances of their respective establishments.
P - That it is a fact freely acknowledged by all intelligent
ractical men that, up to the present moment, science has not
ceen able to lay down any positive law, nor has experience dis-
overed any certain method by which this desirable end can be
cifectually and universally accomplished.
,t_s- That an methods have been tried a greater or less
agree of success; but that the constructionwith of Furnaces, Boil-
r:1st Flues, Chimneys, and the nature of the works carried on by
laeir aid are of so varied a character, that no one plan can be
QPPlied with similar results, to so many widely differing cir-
tint] stances .
That this Meeting is consequently led to the conclusion
the the words in the clause, " without using the best practice-
* means," were purposely introduced into the Act, with the
cOres.l object of preventing the possibility of a too arbitrary
construction thereof, on the part of those to whom the carrying
out of the Act is entrusted.
7. That unfortunately this considerate provisiou on the part
the framers of the Act, has been rendered of no effect by. the
mode in which it has been interpreted, and by the decisions
nc:anacquent upon such interpretation, which have been
w-ger M the Police-court, where it has been held that the
"using the best practicable means, "have, in effect, no
Pro vi and Y protective
.meaning, because the official witness
tog• ed on such occasions by the corporation thinks proper
sert that the measure is practicable in all cases.
priii That this Meeting is at a loss to understand upon what
ack e'Ple of justice the opinion of oneindividual should be
couno wledged as conclusive evidence in the decisions of a
rt of Justice in a matter of such vital importance to the
i)xlense intereseof this vast Manufacturing Community ; un-
wintred as they believe that opinion to be, in the extent to
Or Practical It.is carried, by
netth testimony of any creditably scientific
9.chat
individual he.Kingdo.m.
labou'rhat the Members of this Meeting have bestowed infinite
their a„an.d Pains, and expended very large sums of money, in
Patifie'P°lls endeavours to conform to the Act ; and they are
tar., being able to state that they can and do consume a
thol,AroPortion of the Smoke produced in their Furnaces, al-
111en`i h'ilt an enormous sacrifice of Steam Power, and conse-
;,_ creased expenditure of Fuel, and serious injury to the
exertand Fire-bars,ll they are aware that the very best
lnionhsitherto adopted is but imperfect, and that their best
ueentri are frequently frustrated, sometimes from accidents
pheric og' to the Bridges Flues,
_ &c., sometimes from atmos-
fro, focuses, over which' they have no control, and sometimes
selscl which cannot be totally overcome ; that

hoiler?°co the necessarily confined spaces available for the

aro sufficient allowance has not been made for these

-sP,Pl.oyed day by day to watch the Chimneys in the
ianun_uistncts of the town,—that informations have been
