SMOKE ABATEMENT
Sir,—Your sub-leader in Thursday’s issue on smoke abatement makes interesting reading. Dr. Page says of London: "The industrialist is wise; smoke is waste and they minimise it with modern burners.” Smoke can also be minimised by scientific stoking. This applies as much to a coal range as a boiler fire. The fire that is allowed to burn low and is then stoked heavily is obviously the worst offender as there is insufficient heat to burn the gases liberated, and they go out the chimney as smoke, I suggest little and often when stoking and spread it evenly over the fire. I think the Sunlight League should take up the matter of stoking coal rang«o and bring down a report on the best methods.—Yours, etc., STATIONARY TICKET. August 7. 1943.
