He gives pollution from automobiles as one example. He agrees that it may be bad now, but he states that there was a lot of pollution from horses and other animals in American cities in the 19th century too. Most cities had their own slaughterhouses where cows and pigs were killed a century ago. They were careless about throwing out the remains of the animals and that sort of thing, he said. And the sewer system for waste disposal was almost nonexistent. Some of the problems that bothered people living in the cities during that period are still with us - poor planning, problems in low-income neighborhoods, poor police relations, and poor public transportation. Pollution was a very important problem for city governments in the last century, particularly with regard to water supply, Dr. Adrian said. They had some idea that water could be polluted, but they didnt know how it was polluted and how to purify it. Trying to get pure water was a big problem. Words: 198 53.

Communicable disease was a great concern. There was still smallpox and also yellow fever, malaria, cholera and typhoid. The infant death rate was high, and there were other dangers as well. It is true that people were not being killed by cars. However, they were often killed or seriously injured by runaway horses. It was quite common. Dr. Adrian said. Crime was a great concern then, too, according to Dr. Adrian. Mugging wasnt as common then. he said. but it did exist. Pickpockets were very skilled, too. Also, from the 1830s on, there were a lot of summer ghetto riots. That wasnt just something from the 1960s. There were several causes, but, basically, it was because a large number of people had moved to the cities from rural areas. Planning of cities and their neighborhoods was controlled by land speculators and real estate developers who were only interested in making money. Finally, Dr. Adrian thinks that the situations and problems facing American cities have not changed so much, and he suggests that we look back at the past and try to learn something from it.
