The noise and confusion always more or less in evidence in congested sections are 

 bad even under the best conditions, but when aggravated by heavy trucking in the 

 streets and by the machinery of nearby factories they become a serious menace. 

 When these noises continue throughout the night, as in the case of public garages, 

 ice plants and milk bottling and distributing stations, the evil is enormously increased.
