S1r,—Referring to the Municipal Council Minutes published in your paper this moraing. I notice that the Police are instructed to do all they can to all-viate the nuisance, caused by Chin driving on the Bubbling Well Road all night. Tthiak that not only the Bubbling Well Road, but also and especially the roads in town, as for instance Kiukiang, Kiangse, Nanking, Foochow Roads, ete., should be better controlled by the Police at night, for people living in these roads find it very frequently next to impossible to get a wink of sleep before, say, 2am or 3 and the bustle' and unnecessary noise in the streets commences again at about 5 a.m.
Tt is not of course the ordinary trafic that Tam complaining about, but the absolutely unnecessary yelling and shouting of the Chinese who, even when trying to lower their voices, can be heal from one end of the Bund to the of ver.
At the same time the ordinary traffic ight also be improved upon if the Police Id be a little more strict in dealing with ricshas and wheelbarrows. With a little more care and supervision the clattering of ricshas and the squeaking of wheelbarrows could ea be done away with. By the way, the Shinghai riesha is by far_ the est specimen of its kind inthe East, thas regards vehicle and man.
