CONTINUANCE JUSTIFIED
(British Official Wireless.) (Received August 29, 11 a.m.)
RUGBY, August 28. .Reports frOni all sources reached the Transport Ministry today regarding the first experience of a silent zone in London, which became effective last night, when an order was put into operation forbidding the use of motor horns within five miles of Charing Cross after 11.30 p.m. The reports are so favourable that there is little doubt that the order will become permanent, particularly as according to many observers the experiment has led to the exercise of better caution by drivers. The Transport Minister (Mr. Hore-Belisha) is highly gratified with the resiilt of the anti-noise experiment. Ho assured the public this afternoon in the following terms: "Thank you. London. Thank you, motorists * and pedestrians, in equal measure, for your splendid co-operation hist night. • All have their reward in tho knowledge that many Londoners enjoyed a bettor night's rest than they harl for vnrs. Let us continue."
