Rarely, however, do complainants do any more than insist that “some- thing ought to be done about the sit- uation.” Just what should be done is left for the police to decide. But recently a complaint was ac- companied with a specific and brand- new suggestion. The complainant would “tax the tooter.” All cars, he insists, should be equipped with ap- propriate meters, and motorists at the end of each month be charged for every honk of the horn. Police agree that the proposed measure might be a boon to the noise- weary complainant’s nerves, but they wonder what would hapen to the mor- | tality rate of pedestrians. * ok k% IDEA.
