REGISTER COMPLAINT.
Residents Find Fault With Drivers Of
Vehicles.

The District Commissioners have received
from Mrs Louise Butler of 1925 G street
northwest a protest against the noise made
by vehicles and their drivers at what she
terms unreasonable hours in the alley ad-
Joining her residence. Mrs. Butler says:
II have very large house and rent
rooms to members of Congress and others,
the house being now full Some have left
on account of the noises and others threat
Ell to leave, and am threatened with ruin
To nv business. The noises are made
principally by wagons at about daybreak.
The alley is paved with stone, and the
noises the wagons make is unusually loud
and Just at a time when my dodgers want to
sleep. I beg that the alley be paved with
asphalt or that some effective restriction
be placed upon the wagons and the drivers
else am ruined"
From Repr, sentative John w. Gaines of
Tennessee the Commissioners have received
the following communication upon the
same matter:
II am one of the unfortunates alluded
to I'm this protest Oh Mrs. Butler. / cannot
get to sleep sometimes before midnight,
and vet am awakened nearly every morn
ing by the noises produced by rolling wag-
ons and sometimes by the yelling drivers.
I shall have to move unless there Is some
relief and 1 am satisfied that others in the
house will do the same thing. l have been
here several years, and this Is recent
thing 1 hope the Commissioners can stop
it. 1 think Mrs. Butler might abate the
nuisance in the courts, but that ought TO
he unnecessary"
