| quiring engineers TO whistle when ap-
preaching all crossings In this city and
| Central Falls went into effect on Sunday
| Jnue 10 and since then II has proved
a nuisance 10 every one living or doing
business within a half mile OF the rail-
| road.
Mr.. Freeman had a conference with the
officials yesterday and at that time was
informed that orders 10 discontinue the
whistling would be given TO the engineers
| as soon as possible. II is apparent that
| there was no very great amount OF red
tape required TO put this order into ef-
feet. for last evening IL was noticeable
that the whistling had ceased and quiet
OF kind. at least, reigned In the vicinity
OF the tracks.
For about ten days the noise has proved
most annoying to thousands OF people.
Physicians have complained that u ag-
fected many OF their patients and In ad-
dition to that IL has caused several run
aways in the center OF the city, where
horses have become frightened at the
noise made by the powerful whistles with
which the locomotives are equipped. The
city council OF this city and also of Gen.
tral Falls passed resolutions asking the
railroad commissioner TO put stop TO
the noise, declaring that II was "un-
necessary and n nuisance" and so
promptly has IL been stopped that some
OF the city officials are wondering IL they
cannot secure action on some other mat
ters just as easily. II only the grade
crossing question here could be settled as
easily as has the whistling question there
would be great rejoicing
