been hen many many years before we and the question is how to control or stop it sug jested the mayor re told the delegation it was his opinion the by law wus crcut ed to control visible pollution such as smoke and couldn t see how it could be used for others it would take a lot of time and money and it is doubtful if wc could make it stick he emphas ized mr goy said that the smell was not unique in acton and existed in other centres he noted thai in large cities tannery sewage was disposed of down the sew age disposaj svslem but the sew age plant in acton was not large enough upset economics the mavur suggested perhaps a little patience and cooperation might be the solution to the prob lem what wc can do is weak and i don t think you would want council to upset ihe economics of
