This 1924 photo of the recently completed Washington Street bridge seems to highlight the city's pollution problem, courtesy of the many mills and factories lining the Fox River. We touched upon this back in 2013 when we reviewed the bridge's dedication in 1920. At the time, there was a news item about a petition being presented to the common council protesting the atmospheric conditions. Apparently, four years later, little had been done.
