"Clearly, Salt Lake City was a much more livable place in 1930 than in 1890, when filth, disease, and air pollution assaulted the citizens’ health and comfort. Nevertheless, it was not paradise. In spite of the pressure from environmentally conscious women and men, the city fell woefully short of success in such areas as collecting garbage and eradicating vermin such as rats and flies. Moreover, air pollution still destroyed property and created serious health and aesthetic hazards for the people.
"On the other hand, improvement took place because middle-class and upper-middle-class men and women committed themselves to the City Beautiful and city functional movements. They achieved no civic Eden, but they did realize short-range and partial successes in solving some problems like providing parks, golf courses, water supplies, sewers, and street improvements and in clearing the air of some pollution. Certainly the people benefited from the beautiful streets with parks in the center lanes, from the addition of Nibley Park golf course, and from the beautiful and functional Lindsey Gardens Park."
