KONDAY, APRIL 15, 1974

+FACTORY AND RESTAURANT OWNERS SHOULD REALISE THAT

REDUCING SMOKE POLLUTION IS GOOD BUSINESS, BECAUSE IT IS

INEFFICIENT BURNING WHICH CAUSES DARK SMOKE.

+DARK SMOKE

-

THE STUFF WHICH CAUSES POLLUTION-

ONLY OCCURS WHEN FUEL ISN'T BURNED EFFICIENTLY.

BOILERS AND FURACES OPERATED EFFICIENTLY PRODUCE WHITE

SMOKE, WHICH IS MAINLY WATER CONTENT AND DOESN'T POLLUTE

THE ATMOSPHERE.

+FACTORY AND RESTAURANT OWNERS WHO SEEK OUR FREE

ADVICE AND OPERATE THEIR PLANT EFFICIENTLY TO PRODUCE

LIGHT SMOKE WILL BE AMAZED AT THE CUTS IN THEIR FUEL

BILLS. AND WITH THE PRESENT WORLD SUPPLY SITUATION,

IT IS DOUBLY IMPORTANT TO CONSERVE OUR PRECIOUS SUPPLIES

OF FUEL 01L, MR. NEWBURY SAID.

ANYONE WHO WANTS FREE TECHNICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO

SAVE FUEL OIL AND COMPLY WITH THE LAW AT THE SAME TIME

CAN RING THE LABOUR DEPARTMENT'S MIR POLLUTION CONTROL UNIT

AT 3-688924 OR 3-688954.

+WE'D FAR RATHER ADVISE THAN PROSECUTE, BUT IF

FACTORY AND RESTAURANT OUNERS IGNORE OUR ADVICE AND

CONTINUE TO POLLUTE THE ATMOSPHERE, THEN WE'LL TAKE THEM TO

COURT, SAID MR. NEWBURY.

FOUR OTHER AREAS HAVE ALREADY BEEN GAZETTED AS

SMOKE CONTROL AREAS

KUUN TONG IN 1960, SHA TIN IN

1962, NORTH POINT IN 1964 AND TSUEN VAN LAST YEAR.
