WHEN LONDON SLEEPS
Operation of New Act to Silence
Motor Cars.
NO BLOWING OF HOOTERS
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received 12 noon.)
RUGBY, August 2.7.
Londoners are referring to to-niglit as "silence .night" for the Ministry of Transport order forbidding the blowing of motor horns within an area of five miles around Sharing Cross comes into force half an hour before midnight till 7 a.m.
For the time being the police have instructions only to warn those who contravene the order, but public opinion is strongly supporting the efforts to make the nights quiet for Londoners who sleep in the city.
It is not only hooters that will be dealt with by the Ministry. They are considering measures to prevent thoughtless slamming of motor doors and discourage clattering gearboxes and roaring exhausts.
