Dr. Harrison W. Howell, president
of the new Board of Health, SAYS that
body will 60 further into the matter
of an effort 20 abolish the smoke
nuisance In Wilmington than did ITS
predecessor, which, however, took a
very determined step The old board
peutioned City Council 20 pass an
ordinance regulating the mnttnr DR..
Howell says the new board intends TO
DRIFT an ordinance meeting tho views
OF The members OF the present board,
which. he believes, Will pave the WAY
for remedy. Council will be- asked
Co pass the ordinance.
A false impression has gotten out,
some people evidently being of the
opinion that the plan, as mapped out
by the old board, and as advocated by
many people who want to see a clean
city, is to prevent the use of hi.
luminous coal, but such is not the
case. There Is no desire TO place ans
restriction on any kind Of fuel In
/ general use The desire is merely %
get rid of the black smoke, which,
IN reality, is unhurnod coal TO a large
extent
The idea Of the Board Of Health.
said Dr. Howell, Is TO draft an crdi
nance that will require manufacturer.
To- use such devices in their steam
producing equipment as will consum,
all of the coal and not allow part o
