inspectors are among the very best trained chemists in the country, and chemical manufacturers readily acknowledge the value of their advice, and the undoubted benefit which has accrued through them to the industry.

I believe that properly trained scientific smoke inspectors, appointed through the Local Government Board, would be an equal boon to the manufacturer, who would soon be led to discover, as many have done already, that a material economy can be effected by abolishing smoke.

I trust that manufacturers will encourage this movement of the Smoke Abatement Societies, as one which, though undertaken in the public interest, will ultimately prove of direct advantage to themselves.
