EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND

OF 1880

WHEREAS, Section Five of Ar

the State of Maryland requires the
Governor, Immediately after the TAX
ing and publishing of any National
Census, or after any State enumer-
alton of population, to arrange the
representation in the House of Dele
gates in accordance with the appor-
tionment provided for in Section
Four of said Article Three of the
Constitution, and to declare, by
Proclamation, the number of Dele
gates to which each County of the
State and the City of Baltimore may
be entitled under such apportion-
ment, made upon the basis of such
new census; and
WHEREAS, The said Section Four
of Article Three of the Constitution
provides that each of the several
counties of the State having a pop
ulation of eighteen thousand souls
or less, shall be entitled to two Del
egates; that every county having a
population of over eighteen thous-
and and less than twenty-eight thous-
and souls, shall be entitled to three
Delegates; that every county having
a population of twenty-eight thous-
and and less than forty thousand
souls, shall be entitled to four Dele
gates; that every county having a
population of forty thousand and
less than fifty-fve thousand souls,
shall be entitled to five Delegates /;
that every county having a popula-
ton of fifty-five thousand souls and
upwards, shall be entitled to six Del
egates, and no more; and that each

so forth. One thing worthy of note is the fact
that new residence equipment was covered
The comfortable factors primarily con-
cerned with draft. Chimney size and construc-
ton are specified as well as position Of furnace
with respect TO chimney. The furnace chimney
must be independent and free from all other
connections such water heaters, stoves and
the like
There is nothing in the ordinance specifying
the design of ordinary domestic heating fur
naces. However, when the larger homes use
furnaces having an equivalent rating of IS
boiler horsepower such equipment is governed
by the power and heating plant code, and the
provisions therein must be met
A vigorous educational campaign was under
taken with all classes of fuel consumers. All
of the large industrial and heating plants were
instructed in regard TO desirable mechanical
changes. The railroads were asked to equip all
engines with smoke prevention devices, and
householders were instructed in regard to meth
DDS for the burning Of bitumnous coal with a
minimum amount of smoke.
An interesting feature of the campaign was
the construction of observation tower, 27O
feet high from the street, on top of a centrally
located building. Telephone connections were
made with about 1900 plants, and whenever a
chimney was seen to smoke the fireman was
notified by telephone Records were kept of
each plant during the entire daylight period.
SeaTchIght was installed to aid IN regulating
smoke during the evening hours.
The following conclusions are drawn by the
Bureau Of Mines regarding the smoke abate-
ment campaign m Salt Lake City:
The smoke from large industrial and heating
plants has been reduced at least so per cent.
This reduction effected by cooperative
methods in improving plants and instructmg
fremen and through a system Of rigid inspec-
ton and control.
An observation tower is very effective IN
smoke abatement campaign.
Small heating plants heretofore neglected in
similar smoke abatement campaigns, can sue
ceSsfully be converted into smokeless types at
small cost. Every plant in the business and
industrial section Of the city is now in condi-
tiOn to operate within the smoke ordinance.
Railroad locomotives now contribute little to
the smoke nuisance. Cinder fall in the railroad
district is still high, and its elimination is a
problem.
With present equipment and the present
smoke ordinance and organization, the smoke
from all plants, except residences, can be kept
low enough not to create smoke cloud.
To be successful smoke abatement cam
paign must be continuous. Inspection of heat
ing plants during the Summer months is neces-
sary to keep these plants in proper condition
After 10 years of activity in smoke abatement,
and in spite Of the substantial reduction ef-
fected, the smoke problem in Salt Lake City
has not yet been completely solved. Permanent
relief will depend on complete elimination of
residence smoke So long as any appreciable
amount of smoke Is made in the residence sec
tiOn q smoke cloud will be formed

Banishing Smoke Nuisance.

THE smoke nuisance which has brought about
considerable agitation In this city, is only
a shadow in the sky compared with the trouble
that beset Salt Lake City prior TO the enact
ment of the smoke abatement regulations of the
Utah metropolis. After 10 years of campaign
ing under the direction of the United States
Bureau of Mines and the University of Utah,
it is estimated that the nuisance has been re-
duced fully 80 per cent.
The location of Salt Lake City is such as to
make the emission from industrial and domestic
chimneys of large quantities of smoke a serious
problem. The altitude of the city is 4,5OO feet;
1t covers 80 square miles, and is protected on
three sides with high mountain wall 5000 to
5000 feet higher than the city. The wind
velocity m the early morning and evening is
quite low, being only about miles an hour at
a point 200 feet above the streets in the down
town section.
Utah bituminous coal of high volatile con-
tent is the principal fuel. 1t is fairly hard
does not slack, contains little moisture and ash
and has fairly high calorif1c value. It smokes
badly when improperly handled, and requires a
large supply of secondary air for efficient COM
bustiOn.
The survey, conducted during the Winter
months of 1919 and 1920, showed that indus
trial and large heating plants were responsible
for 44.5s per cent of the smoke, residences for
81 S3 per cent, railroads for 1888 per cent,
small heating plants s.04 per cent, and mis-
ceIanecus consumers GIT per cent.
The smoke produced by large heating and
industrial plants In the business district of the
city was found to be the real backbone of the
problem. The survey indicated that most of
these plants producing 35 per cent as much
smoke it was possible for them to produce,
and the fact that in 1880 the plants produced
less than 2 per cent of the possible volume of
smoke shows what can be accomplished.
survey was made of all the worst plants,
80 that recommendations for improvement might
be made when a smoke department was organ
lied
study made of the domestic problem.
Methods of firing were studied. and it was found
this class of equipment to a low minimum.
Methods of starting fires were emphasized and
instructions TO domestic furnace operators for
mulated.
In 1921 department of smoke inspection and
abatement was organized. An ordinance was
drawn according to the plan recommended in
the report made by the United States Bureau
of Mines. 1t patterned after those of other
cities and was designed to take care of local
conditions as far as possible. It defined vio-
lation in terms of Ringleman chart densities,
specifying period exceeding one minute of No.
smoke, a total of six minutes in any one
hour, as constituting violation.
Rules governing the installation of new equip
nOent covered the items Of draft, size Of COM

the courthouse, starting at 7:45, 1t
has been announced.
Plans were first to hold the
meeting at the chamber Of COM

it was deemed advisable to have a
larger gathering place.
The committee headed by II. II.
Banker, named during the last mass
meeting to decide boundary for the
proposed extension Of city limits,
will report whatever action they
have taken. This committee met
with the city commissioners Sat-
ufday morning at 10 o'clock. and
during this conference a tentative
boundary line was agreed upon,
and approval On this line will be
sought tonight.
Those who have been active In
the fight, including Mr. Banker,
VIM. S. west, II. J. Batsell, Jas. l..
Abney, T. w. Neck, Jas. A. Graham
Chauncy Reid and others are ex-
pected to speak briefly tonight.
The meeting will be in the form OF
an cen discussion. and opinions
Of all West Brownsville citizens
will be requested.
There will be very little OPP
position TO extending the present
city boundary SO as to include
West Brownsville and Los Ebanos.
one Of the leaders said Monday
morning. "Of all the number in
terested in the project. there are
only two. to my knowledge. who
are actively opposed and who will
not change front. When the matter
is placed TO a vote, 1t will pass al
most unanimously"
If the meeting tonight approves

that the city commissioners will
