This paper is an attempt to set forth the smoke and dust conditions in Salt Lake City, discussing the various plans by which an improvement might be secured. In this connection, district heat, gas firing with natural gas and coke-oven gas, and the use of the products of low-temperature carbonization and the by-product coke oven are discussed and evaluated. The connection between the prosperity of Salt Lake City, the State of Utah, and its coal-mining industry is indicated, and certain conclusions looking toward the solution of the problem are stated. The whole discussion in the paper is preparatory to a discussion on the floor of the meeting which it is hoped will clarify the state of opinion regarding this problem in Salt Lake City.
