  • Description
  • "Saint Louis Winning the Fight on Smoke" from the February 2, 1941 issue of the Saint Louis Post Dispatch shows the city before their smoke ordinance in 1939 and after in 1940. The article has a sticker showing ownership of the paper by the Civic Club of Allegheny County in the Hotel William Penn in Pittsburgh, Pa. The remarkable success of the Saint Louis smoke control program made a strong impression on Pittsburgh, a city confronted with similar air pollution problems. Pittsburgh drew directly from this project to justify and foster its own environmental regeneration. See images SCLS027-SCLS032 for documentation of the Saint Louis program.
