Glasgow Police Watching Steamers.
The Glasgow police are keeping a watchful eye on steam wagons, with a view to alleviating the smoke nuisance in the city. Last year an increased number of prosecutions on this account was taken against steam-wagon operators, as compared with past years.
The annual report of Glasgow Corporation's smoke inspector states that, in many cases, the use of unsuitable bituminous fuels was a contributory cause, whilst in the remainder it was the sole reason. It is pointed out that a leading steam-wagon manufacturer recommends the employment of goodquality gas coke. Some owners, however, successfully use smokeless fuels, whilst others burn a mixture of either of these with semi-anthracite fuel.
