ARE ANNOYED
BY WHISTLES
Residents Along Sound Are
Preparing Complaint.

Unnecessary sounding of steam
whistles, especially at night by cap
tatns and pilots of various crafts ply
ing Staten Island sound and the
adjacent waters hereabouts will, it
10 understood, be the subject of a
complaint filed with the Board of
Supervising Inspectors of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
shortly. People residing nearest to
the shore, it is said, are greatly an
noyed by the sounding of tow boat
whistles at all hours of the night,
sleeper who seeks rest after a hard
days work.
The Board Of Supervising Inspec-
tors, at their annual meeting of
January, 1907, adopted the follow
ing rule, which seems to cover the
situation:f
UNNECESSARY sounding of the
steam whistle is prohibited within
any harbor limits of the United
States. Whenever any licensed Off
Ger in charge of any steamer author
ICES or permits such unnecessary
whisthng, upon conviction thereof
before any board of inspectors hav-
ing jurisdiction, such officer shall be
suspended from acting under his
license as the inspectors trying the
case may deem proper"
The foregoing rule is an act of
congress, approved February 8,
1907, and is found on page II of the
pilot rules for certain inland waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and
of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico,
which every pilot must have in the
pilot house of the vessel he is in
charge.
