The Smoke Nuisance,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To tHe oI 1He STHT!
1t appears, according to the report in
Saturdays Star. that the House bill TO
require the use of smoke consumers was
considered by the subcommittee and that,
las no one appeared before the committee
in favor CT the bill, it is not considered
likely that the bill will pass" Is there no
one to advocate this important matter? ?
Every citizen, especially every property
holder, has an interest in abating the con-
slant shower of black flakes we are now
enduring. Every one having any interest
here will be injured if # continues. A
clean. healthy city attracts residents and
business-wth dirt, CRIME and dark skies
the reverse is the case. The Star has
strongly advocated the abatement of this
nuisance. Cannot it suggest some means
or uniting public opinion energetically in
the matter? FELIX
