Abstract
THE Manchester City Council is one of the few local authorities which have gone out of their way not only to put the smoke clauses of the old Public Health Act into force, but also to investigate the cost to the community of the smoke nuisance. With true wisdom it has realised that the aesthetic sense of the average man is controlled by his pocket, and that the direct road to reform is to make him understand how much he might save by a clean atmosphere.
