In submitting the sixth quarterly re-
port 20 the Honorable the Board OF Al
dermen, FOR the period between April l.
lsO5-July ]. 1905. the supervising engineer
under the Smoke act. II. T. Chadwick
says that the general line Of work out
lined in previous reports was followed
Observations were taken where the issue
OF black smoke appeared 10 be In vio-
lation OF law. and verbal and written
complaints were investigated.
In April 1915, the National g. Provi-
dence Worsted Mills installed a forced
draft system in their boiler house at ll6
Valley street known as No. 6. Previous
ly the chimney was extremely smoky,
but now smoke Is not visible, and the
supervising engineer has been informed
by superintendent Harris that the smoke
issue would have first consideration
rather than economy. but in this case
tests showing a saving OF is 10 % per
cent, and plans are being made for sim
liar equipment for the other boilers at
the mill
Last May a mechanical stoker was
placed under one battery OF boilers OF the
Narragansett Brewing company at Ar
lington. Cranston. just outside the city
line with the understanding that II ~
stopped the black smoke and showed
economy orders would be placed for stok-
ers for the remaining boilers. After in
quiry and observation, the supervising
engineer was convinced that the stoker
met all requirements. orders for stokers
for the remaining boilers have been
placed
Although the law did not apply 10 this
plant outside the city line, the company
manifested a commendable disposition to
consider the comfort OF their neighbors.
which is duly appreciated in the section
formerly troubled by smoke and sooty
deposits
The boiler plant Of the Bourn Rubber
Works on Westheld street has been en-
larged and improvements which keep
smoke we'll within limits have been in
stalled. In this CElmwood) locality are
several chlmneys which emit dense black
smoke for one 10 three minutes at periods
OF 10 10 i5 minutes, when the furnaces
are replenished with fuel, and In other
parts OF the city there also are chimneys
which emit a larger percentage OF smoke
per hour than some, which are beyond
the legal limit. when the furnaces are
repienished once an hour. In some
cities n particular percentage OF black
smoke per hour constitutes a violation
of the law
Smoke preventing devices at the Cromp-
ton & KGowles Loom Works on Harris
avenue have effected n decided improve
ment, and n good showing is made by
the new apparatus in the Brown building.
257 West Exchange street.
The inspector has had several COM
plants about smoke from low chimneys,
which do not exceed the time limit. and
has visited the owners who promptly
removed the cause OF annoyance by In
creast%g he height OF their stacks. so
that the smoke would be carried away in
stead OF being deposited on the adjacent
premises.
Respectfully submitted.
