in noisy areas, but trouble is being
reported in what have been con-
sidered the quietest residential sec
tons, Maj. Brown said. He found
a letter of complaint on his desk
this morning from a family on
Woodley place NV.
Law volumes contain sufficient
regulations to take care of any one
needlessly disturbing the community,
police say. One rule prohibits
sounding of automobile horns except
as a warning of danger, and motor
lists signaling to persons in buildings
will be liable to arrest, Maj. Brown
said.
Another rule requires mufflers on
all vehicle exhausts, and a general
regulation provides a fine up to $40
for "any person, whether on public
or private property, who at late and
unusual hours of night disturbs the
peace of quiet of any neighborhood."
Citizens who are disturbed may
bring their trouble to the police, who
will assist in prosecuting noise
makers in court, Maj. Brown said.
In his order to precinct COM
manders, Maj. Brown said action
follows numerous complaints i'll

ity to sleep at night due to unneces-
