the summer homes Of those who live
on the water front

Of most motor boats. If the noise
were at time when other people were
expected to be up and doing, It would

nuisance.
Whether a man has a right TO make a
living if, in the making. he becomes a
nuisance 10 others.is aquestion. When
appealed 10. the States Attorney, Mich
olas II. Green. Esq. said there is no
law in Maryland to cover the case.
Some states have law repuirlng All
motors to be mufIled, and thereby TO
avoid such nuisance as that afflicted
upon most tidewater towns. There is
talk OF an eudeavor to have such law
passed az the next session Of the Mary
