TITS undersigned property owners and
residents living on Summit avenue and
vicinity herewith respectfully beg to sub
NIT to your Honor a standing grievance
caused by the Pavonia ferry section OF
the North Hudson County Railroad Conn
pany, to wit: Said company has amongst
its rolling stock a number of antiquated
cars. which in consequence Of faulty con-
struotion make jerking, squealing
noise, TO be heard at distance of from
three to four blocks. Annoying as this
Is at all times it becomes utterly unbear-
able during the summer months, when
people are having their windows open,
and Is particularly intolerable during the
stiffness of the night, when the noise be-
comes absolutely hideous.
Disturbing and. greatly annoying as
this is to a person in good health it be-
come q matter of grave and serious con-
sequence with sick persons, more es-
pecially to those suffering from nervous
ness. to which each of these passing cars
is a continuous shock.
Verbal representation of these facts
have repeatedly been made to the com
pany without avail. In respectfully SUBJ.
mitting this complaint to your Honor, we.
pray thai you may Kindly refer it to the
proper Board or officer with the request
to take such steps as will assure US re-
lief from what we consider q public nui-
sance.
