TO ARGUE BOND ISSUE
Washington Utilities Company
Accepts Proposal for Pub
lie Hearing.

The Washington Utilities Company has
accepted the invitation of the public util-
tiles commission to explain at a public
hearing it's plans for a $1OOOO,OOO bond
ISSUE
At the same time the big holding corpo-
ration will be asked to show to the salts
faction Of the commission that IT'S own
ership Of about 20 per cent OF the COM
mon stock Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company is not in violation
of the La Toilette anti-merger law. June
80 is the date tentatively selected for the
hearing.
Before the commission will consider the
bond issue proposal it will look first into
the question Of whether provisions in the
La Toilette act have been fully complied
with by the company. If 1t becomes sat
isfied that the holding by the company
of the street railway stock referred to is
not in conflict with the law, it will then
consider whether the securities offered
are sufficient to justify the commission
in approving a bond issue Of the amount
proposed.
Consideration of questions to be pre-
sented at the hearing will result in a
construction being placed by the public
service board on important provisions of
the law. Gardiner L. Boothe will repre-
sent the corporation at the hearing.

A Look Ahead.

There Is still room for improvement 1t
can be secured by many means-by the
enforcement Of existing laws and creation
OF new regulations: by educating the old
and training the young: through the press
and lecture room; by giving aid and SYM
patty to those already working for bet
ter conditions. And it is fitting that
teachers, both present and prospective,
should be interested. Their influence will
count for much in Fastening the better
day when din and "clamor" and hub
bub'' and the other harsh terms applied
to our street noises will be hardly under
stood-when unnecessary noise itself will
be a thing strange and unknown, except
as a condition which. once existing, had
been removed by the spread Of general
intelligence and the march of civilization.

The Protest Against Noise.

The objection to unnecessary noise is
not wholly modern. 1t was expressed in
Hl-fafed Pompeii in the first century in
an appeal against the laurel-crowned rev.
elers returning from the feasts. Cen
turtles later Bishop Comenius. who gave
us the idea of a pictorial school book, re-
echoed the protest. Tennyson, Carlyle
Millais and others in the last century
complained of "braZen performers on
Drazen instruments, heaters of drums
grinders of organs. Dangers Of banjos,
changers of cymbalS. worriers of fddles
and believers of ballads Mrs Isaac L.,
Rice conducted a successful crusade
against the din which had made the
neighborhood OF the Hudson river a fear
some place. Prof. Morse spoke against
the useless shrieking of train whistles
Prof. John Basset Moore protested against
the automobile horn whose boots and
honks incite the chauffeur to madden
speed Now the protest comes from all
from the student, the manual laborer, the
teacher. the nurse. the working woman
speaking for herself or her husband; 1t
comes from the fashionable neighborhood

Origin of Noise.

Noises are of manifold origin. Some
came from primal instinct as the bark
ing of dogs and cries of untamed ami
mails. Others had their beginning in So
cial and national customs, as the clamor
of the night reveler-ancient or modern
the public wailings of other days, the
horns of the merrymakers, the music of
the serenade. the loud discussion in pub
lie places, the pealing of chimes. the
rattle of the night Waterman and the
bell of the town crier. Many sprang from
modern invention and industry. as the
whistle of the locomotive, steamboat and
factory, the horn of the automobile and
motor cycle, the din of elevated trains
and surface cars, and the innumera BILE
cries, horns and bells of street vendors
What is true of noise in general is true
also of street noises in particular-they
may be referred back to instinct, social
custom, and supposed relation to modern
work and progreSS

Noise Defined.

BY actual experience everybody knows
what noise is, but for the sake of having
an authoritative definition it will be we'll
to accept the statement of the dictionary
that noise is:
"A sound of any kind, but especially of
confused or disagreeable kind; a din.
The term is of doubtful derivation, sup
posed to be related to nauSea-sickness or
disgust-and it has for synonyms such
words as:
Blare, clamor, clatter, din, hubbub.
jangle, cutlery rattle, roar, tumult and
uproar.
noise is sound of confused, discordant,
or meaningless kind, but is not neces-
sarily confined to such, since many
sounds agreeable in themselves may
through circumstances become mere noise
and degenerate into nuisance.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-06-20
Apologists for Noise.

Noise has had It's apologists. Some Ok
ford dons once petitioned for the resto-
ration of a suppressed whistle: a metro
politan journal compared a growing city
to q growing boy-it had to make a. noise
or take to evil ways: to stop noise COM
mented a western editor. would destroy
exuberance and exaItation of soul and
dam the current of the worlds joy"
The Protest and It's Results
In spite of the apologists public opinion
has condemned unnecessary street noise.
Everywhere il is being challenged and
suppressed. Europe led the way. 1t
