The development of the/dowtemperature carbonisation of coal and other processes for its scientific treatment. are under consideration by the \ Government, said Hr E.

Substantial progress had been made in the last four years, he said, and certain processes were being operated on a commercial scale. Effective help would be given by the Government, first in experiments for the’purpose of improving by refining the value of tar oil pro. dueed from low temperature carbonisation and, secondly, by inducing a wider use in the Government service of smokeless fuel.
