NOISE ABATEMENT
CAMPAIGN IN SYDNEY
DEPUTATION TO PREMIER
SYDNEY, March 9. ' A deputation representing.the Noise and Nuisances Abatement Society placed its noise abatement case before the Premier, Mr. B. S. Stevens, and asked that the Government should deal ruthlessly with the chief offenders. Particular complaint was made against motor-cyclists, early morning milkmen, hawkers, newsboys, screeching children in the streets, arid persons who operate radio sets at full blast. The Government trams were described as "the noisiest type of vehicle using the roads." It was asked that an effort should be made to suppress hooliganism at dances and outside dance halls, while strong objection was voiced to persons parading streets near the seaside in bathing costumes and "hairy individuals, not unlike anthropoid apes not decently clad, who infest the beaches and trams."
The Premier promised to give every consideration to, the case.
