City pushes plan to curb smoke from engines
Smoke Inspector Brown reports early results from grace period ending December 1 as railroads adopt stoking rules. The Big Four and Pennsylvania railroads issued procedures to firemen, forbidding green coal and limiting shovels per burn. Two permits to install stokers total about $5,000, with McCoy-Howe and Home brewing seeking permits for $1,000 and $4,000 devices. Brown says prosecutions will begin Friday against remaining offenders to reduce the city smoke nuisance.
