And if “lazy janitors” would co-operate with his Air

Pollution Prevention Bureau, the soot and smudge would be cut in half afain, he says. Chasing down violators of the smoke control law at the rate of 700 a year, Mr. Mingle reports the “apartment and rooming house district” 1s his biggest problem. While huge industrial fifms go along with smoke laws fully, sometimes spending more than $250,000 for special anti-smoke equipment, Mr. Mingle declares the men who fire the rooming house and apartment furnaces either will not or can not fire correctly. ; The “lazy janitor” is his top headache, he says. This fireman insists on handfiring a furnace equipped with a stoker. He shovels in coal by hand to speed up the fire because, Mr. Mingle says, he is “too lazy” to wait the extra 10 or 15 minutes the stoker would take.

Then, Phew

This hand firing results In huge waves of smoke and soot which is causing the gray haze frequently hanging over the near downtown area. Since his job is air pollution in general and not just smoke, many

formerly coming from operation of steel furnaces. He reports he is now working with International Harvester Co. on the East Side to stop dust and says equipment required may cost half a million dollars.

Our Coal Smells

Real bugaboo of smoke control, the air pollution chief says, is “high volatile” coal, that is coal which smokes and fumes at low

temperatures.

also fighting the smoke problem. A move was made in Indian. apolis in 1949 under former smoke boss Robert Wolf to pass a similar restriction on the use of high volatile coal here, Mr. Mingle said. That move failed and the present smoke ordinance resulted. About the same time, the legis lature passed a law making it

diana-produced coal. Since public buildings are required as a result in all except emergencies to use the high-vola-tile Indiana coal, those buildings are serious smoke- offenders, Mr. Mingle reports. Over-all, the smoke boss insists, Indianapolis has no more smoke problem than other cities of similar size. - “Everybody has the same problems,” he declares. “Some cities brag of how they have licked the smoke situation but if pressed they will admit they are not much better off than other places.” He is particularly proud that Indianapolis had only one serious smog last year. It was on Oct. 12 when weather conditions kept a heavy combination of smoke and fog hanging over the city nearly all day.

Written by Lloyds of London, the “protection” is an insurance policy which covers peace officers (up to a stated amount) against financial loss from damage suits for false arrest, injury to citizens, damage to property, or other expensive mishaps occurring in line af duty.
