NOISES NEAR HOSPITAL
Sir, —Owing to the noise of motor transport interfering with tlie proceedings at the Police Court, all such traffic was diverted from that vicinity. Owing to the noise of motor transport interfering with the progress of patients in hospital, similarly the transport should be diverted, unless those whose duty it is to enforce the law take action in the matter. The noise which motorcyclists in particular make can be described as truly frightful. A patient is seriously ill, a doctor has studied bis case with characteristic concern and ability, and duly advises the sister of the position, whereupon this noble lady and her equally worthy staff of nurses give of their best to save the patient's life, A sleep will pull him through, an opiate is administered and eased of his paiils the patient falls off to sleep—the sleep upon which so much depends. Then along the road comes a, conscienceless fiend, roaring and barking his motor-cycle with consequences wo can just imagine. Jf the authorities cannot deal with the matter, what about a Vigilance Committee? Neville Caiiesen.
