IT'S NOW A LAW.
Police Will Arrest All Who Make
Unnecessary Noise.
The ordinance of Alderman J. E. Logan preventing the making of unnecessary noises was signed by Mayor Crittenden, Jr., yesterday. The provisions apply to vehicles, operated by electricity and horses only, and provide a penalty for the use of siren whistles on automobiles and bicycles, and loud, piercing bells on street cars. It also provides that the only time of year when strings of bells can be attached to sleighs or vehicles is when there is snow on the ground.
Contrary to general belief the ordinance does not apply to barking dogs and loud lunged hucksters. There are already laws in force covering these two nuisances, but not enforced by the police.
