Gentlemen: As you gentlemen know many of our vital industries are operating three shifts of eight hours each. This necessitates a large number of ourdefense workers sleeping during the daylight hours. The sleep of these work- ers is being disturbed by thoughtless and careless people in the unnecessa7 use of automobile horns and through othe unnecessary noises. I think it advisable at this time that the Council give consideration to an anti -noise ordinance, which will be of great assistance in our defense workers securing their proper rest.
