Wyandotte. Some of this nuisance
for Wyandotte may be traced back
thru poor fuel, increased loads and
ancient equipment, but it still is our
aim to try and keep this transpor-
alton matter within the require
ments of the ordinance.
1t may be of interest to you to
know that the Delray Connecting
RR has converted to Diesel power.
This Is real achievement in
smoke-elimination and the sugges-
ton of your Inspector is that they
be commended for this forward step
in transportation.
We have many perplexing prob
lens that relate directly to gases
and fumes.
A certain section at the north
end OF town was plagued with a
gas nuisance some time ago. Re-
pairs were made and we truly hope
that the offenders operation and
maintenance will be of such a vigi-
liant character that no repetition of
the nuisance may again occur.
The south end of town requires
constant attention in attempting to
combat their brand of nuisance.
Down there it seems that definite
accomplishment is offset by a new
nuisance.
In general We need all possible
help and cooperation from every
source and every constructive group.
The offenders MUST be convinced
that the sole chance for improve
ment represents their combining all
Of their dust, fumes, gases or dirt
to their own property-and not per-
hitting same to spray the proper
ties of innocent, patient and law
abiding neighborS.

To the
Smoke Abatement Committee
City
Gentlemen:
Regarding a certain petition from
thirty persons residing in the area
which houses the Great Lakes
Manufacturing Company. and pray
ing for relief from smoke, gas and
dirt. we report as follows:
I have contacted responsible par
ties OF the above concern, and they
regret that they are the occasion
of this complaint. They further
pledged themselves to abate thu;
nuisance to the best Of their ability
The writer's observations have
taught him that in starting fires
in cold cupola is apt to create
much smoke if the strictest attention
is not paid to the various condi-
tions of combustion. To avoid sale
smoke required the utmost in care
full attention of the operator
Another method OF relief for the
adjoining area would be to raise
the stack of the cupola. This has
the advantage of furnishing better
draft and thereby an aid to com.
bustion, but, the definite disad-
vantage, If smoke is emitted, OF
spreading it and its accompanying
dirt and dust over greater areas.
Regardless of technicalities we
shall continue to endeavor to abate
this nuisance and merely request
that sufficient time be allowed to
complete the necessary adjustments
While In this area I called upon
the Douglas Machine Products re-
garding alley-encroachment and the
waste oil conditions that are emitted
from their waste products. They as
sured me that immediate means
of control of this trouble would be
inaugurated. I am of the opinion
that their control ideas are feasible
and will curtail the nuisance.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred w. Classon.
