Smoky Days in Police Court Case At Seattle Mill
City Attorney De Bruler led a smoke nuisance case against a Seattle lumber and electrical firm, with Judge George presiding. Witnesses described dense smoke from two large stacks near Queen Anne Hill drifting into Annehill and surrounding homes, causing clothes to blacken and residents to seek relief. The defense argued the Dutch Oven furnace and refuse burner reduced smoke, while locomotives and wind conditions spread emissions. The trial, part of a group of similar hearings, may not be decided until all related cases are heard and court arguments held.
