REBATE ON RATES
“Do you know my own specific for further reducing the amount of smoko. It dates from a lecture of twenty-four years apo and is repeated in the last chapter of the book I wrote with Dr; J. S. Owens on ‘The Smoke Problem of Great Cities.’ It is to allow a rebate on the rates to the householder and factory owner who arrange things so that they shall not produce smoke. ‘H itherto all action has been repressive—forbidding persons : to do certain things and prosecuting them if they do them. Prohibition is not really a very effective way of obtaining public support. You want, I think, to give some recognition !to 'a person who takes the trouble to put things straight and makes himselLf in this respect a good citizen.” —Sir Napier Shaw in the “Observer.”
