Chickens Add to the
DiscOmfOrts of Noise

To the Editor ~ The Star.
/ may seem late with my thanks for
your editorial on noise. nuisances ana
nerves, but the following will convince
you of my sincere appreciation.
There is IN our neighborhood man
who keeps chickens that start to sing al
daylight. am, every morning. NOW
I do not mean an egg cackle, that starts
around am. and Is rather peasant
sound when one is awake.
To secure A permit for keeping chick
ems one must get a ma iority of the peo-
pie III the block to sign for 1t. Wnen
this man came around with his petition
We three near neighbors refused to sign
and stated our objections which ne
already knew We thought We would be
good neiehbors and not circulate pcti-
titn against it. really expecting that ne
would make an effort TO stop 1t.
The results have been that We three
near neighbors have had TO complain
again 10 the Health Department about
, the awful odors and We have had TO
forego the healthful benefits OF our
sleeping porches during this very not
| weather. because we could not stand
losing two and three hours sleep every
morning when 1t was coolest.
The Police Department informs us
that they can do nothing as long as this
man has a permit asked them why
they did not revoke the permit when
they know this place has been reported
TO them every year for keeping ROSTERS
which is against the police regulations,
and II has been reported to the Health
Department No answer!
Radios are a nuisance lots OF times,
but In the evenings when they are going
there are other noises to counteract
them to some extent. But imagine sing
ing chickens at 4 30 am. in block OF
row housesl
New laws are needed badly to protect
the noisy ones. who. as you say. think
thew do not mind 1t. as we'll as the lovers
Of quiet. MRS J. K UTLEY.

In some respects, however. there IS
a definite resemblance between the
present campaign and that OF 1880

In the present campaign there are
