NOCTURNAL STREET NOISES.
"Long 'Sufferer" writes complaining about the.street noises in-the city at night. "The last tram passes here at midnight. Then the taxis and cars go on all night long, with their horns screeching ; \yith a. sound that goes through the brain. After that the dustmen, banging the rubbish tins, and the water cart, grinding along up hill, and then the early morning traffic begins the day again. No /wonder there are so many breakdowns and, ssylums full." .' Horace Smith complsms about the noise made at the City Milk Depot, a "profound nuisance," and supports the suggestion .of rubber-tyred .milk-carts and horses shod-;with: rubber.
"Roundsman's "-Wife," protesting Against the night delivery of milk as a strain on the wivesv:and.mothers of the men engaged; and. a-.;bar to proper home life; asks:- "Whati-difference doe|; ifvina'ke'>v'hlether.the./,r)nij.lk is delivered l3y';day or.night.'asvhiiik-'has to be kept 24; hours in any case, ;and at overnight delivery one does not 'always know what quantity, will be' required, during the day." Day delivery would increase sales as everyone :does not live neala'milk shop.
