Asheville, Dec. 28—John Hunter, smoke abatement engineer from St. Louis, who was employed by the city to make a study of the smoke problem, has completed his work and has submitted a special report to the smoke abatement committee of the Chamber of Commerce.
The report of Mr. Hunter, according to A.H. Malone, chairman of the committee, has been drawn up in bound form and will be open to all persons desiring information about the local smoke situation. He interviewed managers of local industries and inspected all of the large furnaces I the downtown district. His final report is a compilation of suggestions he has made to industrial heads and gives full instructions as to how furnaces should be fired to get the most benefit from coal burned.
He will return to Asheville during January for several days and will hold final consultations with all who desire his opinions as to the smoke situation.
Under the suggestion of Mr. Hunter, Asheville has employed a smoke inspector in the person of C.A. Sigmon, who will direct the carrying out of the engineers’ recommendations with the co-operation of local business houses.
