ATTACKS ON NOISES AND NUISANCES
SYDNEY SOCIETY’S DEMANDS CAMPAIGN AGAINST OFFENDERS STRONG CRITICISM OF BEACH FASHIONS United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received March 9, 10.40 p.m.) SYDNEY, March 9. A deputation representing the Noise and Nuisances Abatement Society placed their noise abatement case before the Premier (Mr B. S. B. 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, and persons who operated radio sets at full blast. 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 against persons parading the streets near the seaside in bathing costumes and “hairy individuals, not unlike anthropoid apes, not decently clad, who infested beaches and trams.” The Premier promised to give every consideration to the case.
