MUNICIPAL CHEMISTRY A SERIES OF THIRTY LECTURES BY EXPERTS ON THE APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY TO THE CITY, DELIVERED AT THE COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK - 1910 - PREFACE. A course of lectures entitled iIunicipal Chemistryv was authorized by the Honorable Board of Trustees of the College of the City of New York for the spring semester, 1910. The lectures were open to the public, but laboratory work in addi- tion was provided for senior students who elected the course. The co-operation of distinguished experts was obtained. Re- quests for copies of the individual lectures and the entire course have been so numerous that it was decided to put them in book form. In a few cases the lectures were not prepared for publi- cation. These have been substituted by specially prepared articles. A perusal of these chapters cannot fail to prove interesting to any citizen and the writer feels that their study will accom- plish good in any community, for they tell of the applications of enlightened common sense where people congregate and forin cities but they will avail little more than attract passing atten- tion unless any interest aroused is converted into kinetic civic activity. A careful study of municipal affairs shows that the greatest material need of our, American cities today is the chemist. It is unfortunately true that the position of the chemist in the nlunicipal body politic is uncertain, if indeed it exists. This is due in a measure to the conception of the rble of a chemist by the people, who look upon him as an analyst and not as an impor- tant social factor. One of the objects of these lectures has been to correct this condition of affairs. It is believed by thewriter, who has given the matter the most careful thought, that if each city in the United States, and in other countries as well, established a scientific commission of poiVer, unhampered by political, social, religious or official associations, to advise with the authorities on all practical matters, the public weal would be improvetl in many ways and its affairs more risely administered than by any v. of the reform movements now in force mhicli, by virtue of their organization, must be temporary. Some aldermen may draw back from putting some of the ideas set forth into effect on the score of expense. That raises the question of their civic responsibility. It may not be worth while to spend money to save the lives of some people, but it is for others, especially the innocent. The successful manufac- turer spends money willingly to improve the efficiency of his machinery. It is positive and not negative econohy that counts most. Superior sanitary conditions affect human efficiency in the same way and those who are benfited are the better able to pay for it. Justified expenditures, even increased, for public work, in which the citys money has the same purchasing power as that of a private corporation, do not hazard an aldermans tenure of office. It has not been possible in any case to present a complete discussion of any one of the topics taken up in the several chap- ters-technical details were unsuited to the plan of the lectures -and much given in the lectures has been eliminated in their publication to avoid an excessive number of pages in this volume. Rly private assistant, Mr. W. A. Hainor, has followed the proof sheets. CHARLES BASKERVILLE. COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, December, 1910. TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I.
