Night Noises of this character do much to disturb sleep at all times. In a season of extreme heat they tend to bani utterly and to induce an acute =~ fietvous distress bordering on prostration. At a recent conference in the British House of Commons It was de- | Cided to dfaft a bill giving the London authorities power to deal with Street noises as a nuisance. The Saturday Review says that “a strong —public-opinion is forming against these modern barbarisms.” - Such an opinion exists here, but mainly to spend itself in-futile protest. A few Vigorous prosecutions in the courts and the withholding of permits from ontractors whose work is of a nature to disturb the night would be more fo the point. it must appear an anomaly that a city maintaining an ex- pensive Board’ of Health should deliberately license individuals to Increase its labors.
