HEARING POSTPONED
ON SMOKE NUISANCE.

The. hearing of the American
Laundry on the charge OF creating
smoke nuisance in the city.
which was set for 10 o clock this
morning., was Indefinitely post
poned following a conference be-
tween company officials, Rhea
Terrace citizens and members of
the Fairmont Board of Affairs
The absence of Mayor w. w:
Conway was given as a reason
for the continuance
w. +. Lydic, general manager OF
the American Laundry, stated that.
only a small amount of soft coal IS
now being used and that coke IS
the principal fuel One OF the
protesting citizens testified to the
fact that the smoke was q mus
ance to personsfliving IN the neigh
borhood but that4it had not been
SO bad in the last week or ten
days. He had not. noticed any
smoke IN a sufficient quantity to
disturb residents in the last Two
days, he stated. Sa
MI Lydic stated that his hrm
had tried out coke, regarded as a
moke-producing fuel by the
protesting citizens, for two or
three weeks. but that the engineer
at the plant had found it impos-
sible to keep up sufficient steam
using only coke. It was impos-
sible, too, he added, to procure a
suitable grade of coke.
twas suggested that, perhaps,
the type of furnace used by the
American Laundry was not as
efficient as it should be and that II
this condition were rem edled,
proper results might be obtained.
Mr.. Lydic expressed himself as
much interested in this suggestion
and. discussed furnace types with
the representatives of the protest
ip1 citizens isys5s.
