MORNINGTON'S SIREN.
TO THK IvDITOB , Sir,*—Your correspondent " Early Bird," on the subject of the Mornington siren. seems to me to bo utterly without consideration for those residents living close to the power-house. He claims that it is a really necessary and first-rate timekeeper. Well, that is true enough if you live a long distance away; but I would suggest that a cheap alarm clock would give your correspondent quite as much satisfaction, "without the daily annoyance caused at present by this siren. My idea in drawing attention to the matter is not so much on my own account as for those elderly residents who, in these trying days, have many cares, and who are not always in the best of health. In conclusion, I'may mention that, some time ago many complaints were made in the City about sirens on steamers lying at the water front, and the matter has 'since been remedied. lam only asking for the same treatment for our own charming hill suburb.—l am, etc., Mokninoton Resident. August 29.
