Air Pollution In The Square
Sir,—l note with grave concern each morning and afternoon large billowing clouds of black smoke pouring from two chimneys of the Post Office building in Cathedral Square. Surely this department, earning the profits it does, could find alternative means of disposing of its waste material.—Yours, etc., SQUARE DWELLER. August 18, 1970. [The Chief Postmaster (Mr M. T. Reedy) replies: “I am not at all sure that the chimneys referred to by the correspondent are part of the Chief Post Office. Our buildii.gs are heated by gas-fired boilers, and while an incinerator is used for the destruction of paper, ash traps are provided and very little smoke is normally emitted from the chimney.”]
