CONVERSION OF FIRES
Clean Air Act ‘meaningless’ The Clean Air Act was meaningless because it provided for the conversion of open fires to other nonpolluting heating, but made no provision for paying for the conversion, said the chairman (Mr D. B. Rich) at a meeting of the Waimairi County Council last evening. He was commenting on a letter from the former Minister of Health (Mr AdamsSchneider) who said that the act did not specifically provide for loans for the conversion of domestic heating, but State Advances loans could be made to local bodies so that they could assist people to change over. “The loans to councils are just not on,” said Mr Rich.
The County Engineer (Mr A. J. W. Lamb) was asked to report on the full implactions of the act, which comes into force on April 1, and it was agreed to make submissions to the new Minister (Mr Tizard).
