Description:Excerpt from Smoke: A Study of Town AirThe subject Of the emission of coal smoke from chimneys is one which has for many years past forced itself with increasing prominence upon the notice of those residing in the larger towns.It is admittedly its aesthetic rather than its economic aspect which has appealed, in the first instance, to popular sentiment. Blackened buildings, darkened skies, and the general air of dirt and gloom which are typical of an English industrial centre have aroused a growing feeling of dissatisfaction among a certain section of the community, and have led to the formation here and there of societies for the prevention of smoke. Some of these societies have pursued their object with praiseworthy energy. By means of pamphlets, public addresses, conferences and exhibitions of smoke-preventing appliances they have sought to enlist public sympathy. They have pointed to the loss of fuel which coal smoke entails, to the physical deteriora tion and lo'wered vitality of the inhabitants of towns caused by inhaling a contaminated atmosphere, to the loss of daylight, and to the destruction of vegetation.It is a remarkable fact, nevertheless, that in face of the active propaganda of these societies, and a very widespread sympathy with their aims, as well as the existence of certain repressive legislative measures directed against the smoke of factories, placed in the hands of the local authority, the emission of smoke continues with almost unabated vigour from both house and factory chimneys.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
