§ Mr. GreenwoodI am not satisfied, but everything at present practicable is being done. The new kiln, which is now settling down normally, will continue to be kept under close observation by the Alkali Inspectorate. In addition, the company is taking steps towards improving the performance of two of the other kilns. Bag filter units are being fitted to the cement storage silos, dust arrestment on clinker cooling is being made more efficient, and raw materials are to be conveyed further into the site.
