<br />A.REPORT OF THE CITY MANAGER - RE: WESTERN PUBLLC WORKS CONGRESS HELD AT.OAKLAND, CALI-
<br />FORNIA,ApRIL 2, 3 AND 4, 1950 WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS:
<br />
<br />"AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS CONGRESS ATTENDANCE QN APRIL 2,3,4,.1950 AT OAKLAND" CALI-
<br />FORNIA. PRESENT WERE MAYOR JOHNSON, COUNCLLMAN ~ODLOVE AND CITY MANAGER DREN KING. THE
<br />ORENING SESSION STAR~ED AT 9:30 A.M. MONDAY MORNlNG, APRIL 3RD - SUBJECT "AIR PDLLUTlON.
<br />PROBlEMS AND SOLUTIONS". PANEL: GORDON P. tA~SQN; PAUL E. MAGILL, SUPERVISOR, AIR AND.
<br />\'lATER POLLUTION LABORATORY, STANFORD UNIVERSITYj.,"QON M. FOLLETT AND F. M. LEDUC.'
<br />
<br />THE SMOG AND AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM PERTAINING TO THE WEST COAST WAS QUITE THOROUGHLY
<br />ANAL~ZED BY MR. MAGILL WHO OUTLINED PRESENT CONDLTIONS OF THE AREAS SUCH AS los ANGELES,
<br />W~ICH ARE AT PRESENT ENDEAVORING TO DETERMINE MEANS TO COPE WLTH THE IR PROBLEMS WHICH HAVE
<br />GROWN TO SUCH MAGNITUDE THAT THEY ARE NOT NOW ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR ORIGIN OF
<br />T~E SMOG AND ODORS. IT WAS BROUGHT OUT.THAT SMOKE ABATEMENT> MIGHT BE EFFEC~ED WITHIN
<br />REASONABLE COST AND SHOULD BECOME A DEFIN!.TE FAC'tOR IN FUTURE IN ANY POTENT'"AL INDUSTRIAL
<br />AijEA.
<br />
<br />MR. tEDuc, VICE CHAIRMAN, POLLUTION COMMISSI.ON, CALI"FORNIA MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION,
<br />ANALYZED THE INDUSTRIALISTS VIEW POINTS AND THE EFFORTS AND EXPENDITURES (OVER ELEVEN
<br />MlLLION DOLLARS) EXPENDED BY INDUSTRIES IN THEIR,ENDEAVORS TO A~ATE EXCESSIVE SMOKE AND
<br />ODORS CONSTITUTING AIR POLLUTION.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />MR. FOLLETT BROUGHT IN THE POTENTIAL EFFECT.OF AI R POLLUTION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
<br />LOCATION OF INDISTRIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH RELATION,TO THE COMMUNITY AND RESTRICTIONS OF
<br />INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT WHLCH WOULD NOT PROHIBIT tHEIR OPERATIONS BUT WOULD ASSIST IN THE
<br />CURTAILMENT OF FUTURE AIR POLLUTION IN THE LOCATION OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. IMPORTANCE
<br />WAS PLACED UPON PREVAI,LING WINDS, AIR CURRENTS AIltD THE PROXIMITY OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOP-
<br />ME:NT.
<br />
<br />EMPHASIS WAS PLACED UPON THE FACT T.HAT THE ~REAS WHICH ARE NOT NOW AS CONTAMINATED
<br />WlTH AIR POLLUTION AS THE Los ANGELES AREA_SHOULD BE MAKING IMMEDIATE STUDY AND STEPS IN
<br />AN E~DEAVOR TO PREVENT REACHING THIS STAGE WHERElN IT THEN BECOMES A VERY COMPLICATED
<br />REMEDIAL PROBLEM. THAT IT WOULD BE.MUCH BETTER to START PLANNING AND PREVENTING AI R
<br />POLLUTION BEFORE IT REACHES THE ABOVE STAGES. FQR EXAMPLE, THE SMOG NOW SO PREVALENT IN
<br />Los ANGELES CANNOT BE TRACED TO ANY PARTICULAR SqURCE, BUT SE~MS TO BE A COMBINATION OF
<br />INDUSTRIAL AIR PO"LLUTION, EXHAUST FROM THE ENORMQUS AMOUNT OF AUTOMOTIVE TRAFFI C, SMQKE.
<br />COMINGiFROM MANY SOURCES OTHER THAN INDUSTRY, COMBINED WITH THE HUMID ATMOSPHERIC CONDI-
<br />TIONS AND THE FACT THAT THE PREVAILING WINDS ARE.t:NCOMING FROM THE OCEAN AND THAT THERE
<br />ARE NOT ENOUGH OUTGOING WINDS TO CARRY THE POLLUtiON IN THE AIR AWAY FROM THE CITY.
<br />
<br />THEY CLASSIFIED OUR PROBLEM HERE IN THE EUGENE AREA PERTAINING TO THE WEYERHAUSER
<br />SMELL AS A PARTICULARLY SIMPLE ONE IN THAT WE KNEW THE DEFINITE SOURCE AND THAT IT W~S
<br />o I\l L YAM A T T E R 0 F, .r I ME (M A G ILL AN 0 Il E 0 U C THO UGH T ) . T HAT A PRO C E SSW 0 U L 0 BE 0 EVE LOP E D TO AT
<br />LEAST PAR'(I!lLLY ABATE THESE ODORS. THE CONSENSUS OF OPINION WAS THAT THE AREAS IN O"REGON
<br />WERE STILL IN THE EARLY.INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ST,AGES WHEREIN_IF PREVENTATIVE METHODS CO,ULD
<br />BE WORKED QUT UPON A STATE-WIDE BASIS AS WELL AS _FOR EACH COMMUNITY, THAT WE WOULD AVOID A
<br />VERY UNDESIRABLE CONDITION OF AIR POLLUTION IN T~E FUTURE! IT W~S BROUGHT OUT THAT GENERALLY
<br />NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT AIR POLLUTION WNTIL THE P4BLIC WAS AROUSED OVER THE PRESENCE QF ~N.
<br />UNDESIRABLE CONDITION AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS T~AT ALL THE KNOWLEDGE POSSIBLE BE GIVEN TO
<br />T~E PEOPLE IN A CORRECT AND UNDERSTANDABLE MANNE~ IN AN ENDEAVOR TO PRqMOTE THE PUBLIC
