Less Noise.
Editor Pleasantville Press:

Editor Pleasantville Press:
Is there any way that this ter
rible traffic noise on the main
streets of our city can be lessen
ed? On some streets, especially
Shore road and Washington ave-
nue.. the noise is so great some
nights that it is almost impossi-
BILE to sleep.
| see by the papers that sci
enlist in Chicago states human
lives are shortened many years
by the noise of cities. Another
statistician estimates that the av-
erage human life is worth $25.00O
to it's country. Then if the noise
of the cities kills off humanity
some ten or twelve years earlier
than they would normally die,
isn't that noise a pretty expensive
problem?
In travelling about the country
by automobile. l notice many cit
les have signs at the city limits
on all streets, NO Muftler Cut
outs" Isn't this noise in Pleas
antville and all along the Shore
road largely due to using muffier
cutouts? And tins there a New
Jersey State law prohibiting the
use of muffier cutouts?
l think anyone who can sug-
gest a remedy for traffic noise
will be doing the community a
real service.
Yours for less noise,

better than the high school here.
The equipment is better, and the
teachers, in many cases, are paid

In number of cases the towns
have erected their high schools
so that they can be added to in
the course of few years to keep
pace with the community's
growth.
Pleasantville is not a small
town any more. 1t is city, a
growing city, and as such should
provide the best in school build

can do it, l see no reason why a
city this size cannot do the same.

Too Much Noise, Writer Declares

City. wonder if it can be any
worse than the noise made by the
trucks and cars which pass up

ing the summer and winter.
The principal offender, in my
mind, is the driver of the trucks
which are carting sand and gra-
vel through the city. They can
slow their truck up in such a
manner that it will make a series
of noises similar to a blow out or
revolver shots. A nervous person
has been watched when the
trucks have come through. and
they have looked startled. to say
the least, when the noise was
