smoke nuisance, y recent report OF TINS
committee states that within siS>~monthS
$50 furnaces have been treated in that city,

citation, every one OF which has been sue
cessful in some measure, but most of them
had exhibited defects Of greater or less de-
gree on their trials suggestion was
thrown out that if the engineers were COM
PEELED to pay the fine, there would be less
smoke.
