PSCIP Company cooperating with city on smog problem neighbors as we feel we have been for the past thirty-eight years. Thank you for coming to see us, and we can assure you that we are diligently working on this problem." Very truly yours, O. H. King, Jr. Vice Pres. & General Man. March 6, 1896 The first automobile to appear on the streets of Detroit (later known as the "Motor Capital of America), was driven by Charles Brady King. Becoming more and more concerned about the smog problem in this area, Mayor Paul Haymond recently contacted con-tacted officials of the Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company Com-pany to see what could be done. In answer to his inquirey he received the following letter let-ter this week: Dear Mayor Haymond: "When you visited our plant, and in our telephone conversation, conversa-tion, we told you we had been experimenting with some equipment in our cupola (melting (melt-ing furnace) stacks in an effort ef-fort to diminish the amount of smoke discharged from our cupolas cu-polas into the atmosphere. At the time of your visit, we had made arrangements for an air pollution consultant to come to our plant. He is a staff member of the American Foundrymen's Society and one of the outstanding authorities : on hygiene and air pollution. We now have his report and recommendatioins and we are purchasing smoke control equipment to be installed in our stacks. The equipment recommended recom-mended by the consultant should considerably reduce the amount of smoke discharged into the atmosphere by our cupolas. cu-polas. "State and local health authorities au-thorities have stated that they do not know if we have an air pollution problem at the present pres-ent time along the Wasatch Front and they have also stated stat-ed that most of the pollution we do have comes from vehicles ve-hicles and home heating units. It is true that since the shutdown shut-down of the Ironton Steel Plant the smoke from our cupolas cu-polas is more noticeable. We, as well as the public, have been more concerned about the problem of air pollution and this has resulted in our experimentation and in the investigation in-vestigation of smoke control equipment. As we told you, there are many systems for smoke control and each one must be engineered for a specific spe-cific installation. We asked the American Foundrymen's Society .consultant to comment about the harmfulness of the smoke discharged from our cupolas, cu-polas, and he said: "It should be 'pointed out here that the effluents from the cupolas are non-toxic and are not injurious to health. The emissions are principally iron oxide and fly ash both of which are harmless." harm-less." We have sufficient property prop-erty around our plant so that the fly ash and oxides should not bother anyone. "Many of our employees are from Springville and we want to continue to be as good
