THE SMOKE NUISANCE.
In Germany Large Cities Cope with
and Suppress 1t.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The city of Washington is trying to make
up its mind whether or not 1t should ann
to attract manufacturing enterprises. II Il
shall be decided that factories can exist
side by side with handsome public buildings
and national monuments some inducements
may be offered TO industries 10 locate IN the
District of Columbia. In order mat there
might be some authoritative
as to the experience abroad with regard TO
the smoke nuisance the State Department
was recently requested to obtain reports
from the consuls at the principal European
capitals. TIL report OF Consul General
Mason, at Berlin, is of particular interest,
not only because of the competence OF that
officer, but because the German capital
contains SO many MANUFACTURING establish
ments.
1t is asserted that these industries are
carried on without any disadvantage to
the city in respect OF SCOT and smoke. Some
of the largest iron working concerns in
Germany are located in Berlin or its imme-
date neighbOrhOod. There are also many
breveries and several chemical works. The
whole subject of the use of soft coal IS
closely supervised by the government. The
n~oisiest and dirtieSt Industries are sent 20
the suburbs. and all-no matter where they
NAV be-are equipped with very tall CHM
news and the latest devices for the con-
sumption of SCOT. The fuel is by this means
completely consumed. and all that issues
into the air is a thin inoffensive vapor.
The German example in these respects
might well be followed in American cities.
PHILADELPHIA is not so great a sufferer as
many other populous communities, since we
make general use of anthracite; but manu-
featuring certers like Pittsburg and Gin
cinnati. where bituminous coal is generally
burned, need to study the matter. The
claims of all our principal cities as places
or residence are now so strong that smoke

ises at each large manufacturing establish
