Councilman Hull moved that said be placed on file. :Councilman Rasmussen seconded the motion. Motion carried. To the Common Council City of South Bend Gentlemen: B U I L D I N G D E P A R T M E N T CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA APRIL 29, 1937 This department -hps made observations of the smoke emmission at the National Dairy Co. plant .and_tat the South Behd Toy Co. according to the petition of the residents in those viciniti� These observations disclose that the dairy company produces very little smoke during the greater portion of the day. Their emission of dense smoke is only for very short end infrequent intervals -a.nd well nrithin the ordinance limits. Their boilers are provided with mechanical unde feed stokers ?nd I can see no readon for complaint from their stack. The officials of the South Bend Toy Co. realize that they are offenders in the matter of smoke and have been ezperimenting with installations of "smoke consumers" for a year or more. Due to the fact that they must consume the refuse from their wood- working me- chinery;, their smoke problem is more difficult to handle. At the present time the Toy Company is about to discard the smoke consumers which have proven unsuccessful end install underfeed stokers, which in all probability will bring_ about a satisfactory correction. This change will be made in the next few weeks. Yours truly, D. Mooma.w _ Building.Commissioner Councilman James moved that said report be accepted and placed on file. Councilman Kerner seconded.the motion. Motion carried.
