Mr.. STANLEY WILL BEGIN
CRUSADE AGAINST SMOKE
He Is Not Sure, However, Where
to Draw the Line in Enforcing
the Law.
NEW DEVICE INSPECTED

General ordinance No. IS, 1898, of the city
of indianapolis. for the enforcement of
which a number of spasmodic efforts have
been made from time to time, may again
occupy the public's attention for a brief
season, if City Building Inspector Stanley
follows up line of investigation begun by
him yesterday morning. The ordinance is
known as the "anti-smoke ordinance" and
it is generally regarded as one of the most
ornamental bits of legislation on the city's
statute books. AS TO its utilitarian qualities
opinion is not so decided.
Mr.. Stanley paid a visit yesterday morn
ing TO the plant of the Nichols-Krull Candy
Company, at Meridian and Georgia streets,
to investigate the workings of an under
feed automatic stoker'' in use there. which
is claimed by it's manufacturers to be
smoke-consuming device OF SURPRISING
worth.
From casual observation said Mr..
satisfactory. Smoke from the companys
stack was scarcely perceptible, except when
the fireman, on instruction, cleaned out the
fires While that was in progress the smoke
was much thicker, but il went down as
soon as the fireman had ceased. Mr.. Mich
OILS stated that the stoker was very salts
factory. but thought the expense OF getting
IL would be too great for men engaged I'm
small businesses. The device cost nearly
$1,000 but Mr. Nichols said 1t saved about
~ per cent. in the cost of coal consumed.
Il want to Investigate the smoke ques-
tion." added Mr.. Stanley, but II is a
hard one, because IL would not be just TO
ask small manufacturers to expend as
much as $1,000 for understanding de-
vice. Besides that, 1t would not solve the
problem of smoke from furnaces in private
houses, as the device used at the Nichols
Krul plant can only be used where there
Is steam. An agitation of the question
would perhaps do more good in the way of
an attempt TO Induce people to obey the
ordinance, rather than TO enforce ii by
process of law. That seems difficult thing
to do, except in the case of large con-
sumers, the large manufactures, breweries
forced to obey the law Just where to
draw. the line between the large and the
small smoke makers is a difficult mat
ter. For the latter, perhaps a man who was
In my office this morning, might have
something of value. He claimed to have
smoke consuming device that he could
sell for 800"
While Mr.. Stanley was in conversation
with the Journal reporter he noticed a
cloud of black smoke floating over the
buildings north of the courthouse. Where
is that FROM" queried he, from Tomlin-
son Hall?"
81 guess So" was the reply.
You know they have a smoke consuming
device over there that Mayor Bookwalter
and a committee went to Chicago to in
vestigate and buy. I'm not sure. as L
haven't investigated, but L am told they
are not using 1T now. 1 must go over and
see about it.
