 Writer.

March Is, 1928.
 To the Editor of the New Britain Horald;--
 In lhc midst of busy City's thor oughfara there must be some un- ayoidablc noise. Various cities have dispensed with unnecessary din. Our own has less factory whistles than in the past. and men reach work on time. ls il good advertising when on" is almost unable 10 carry OH a conversation in an office due 10 tho ncarnrSS of q huge sidewalk loud speaker?

 Persons suffering with nervous oe heart disorders receive definite shock at every blast of the siren, especially when within Il short dist ancc of the horn. The ordinary normal person in the center Of the city has to cease operation at his desk till the din is over. Medical science has proved that any undue, sudden, loud noise pcrccptibly slows the heart action.
 SugGc stion is made that instead Of the siren q system of bell signals at interscctiong city streets in addition 10 registering of alarm at the station, be installed 10 ring only when the fire apparatus is duo ill that vicinity. Any improvement that tends 10 less cn the nervous strain of a city life and add comfort and years to it's citizens lives is promotion.
