TROUBLESOME NOISES.
Dir. McGregor Mveighs against
Them IN No Uncertain Terms.

In a little pamphlet entitled Troublesome Noises
and How Stop Them (the Ross Publishing Com
pany. New-York) Malcolm McGreSor uses some
very strong language about this nuisance and these
who cause it. Among civilized people, he says. 1t
is considered of the most important duties
of government to keep the streets clean and the
water pure; there is why the power of
the State should not used to keep the air free
from injurious sounds. Noise making is, in effect,
of the worst of crimes. because it not only
rohs people of their money by causing them to lose
time and by making them less fit to do their work
than they otherwise would De. but it tortures and
kills people and robs them of their health-the most
precious thing that has. The total loss caused
by thieves is comparatively slight the loss and in
jury and suffering caused by noise makers is
enormous.
1t Is not only the noises hear that fnjure US.
Mr.. McGregor further states; we also suffer from

est, is accompanied by atmospheric conclusion
