Ban on Church Bells Pushes for Consultations
District authorities plan tighter enforcement of noise laws amid complaints about church bells and street noise. Commissioner Macfarland backs regulating bells, carts, musical machines, and railroad sounds to protect health and quiet. Churches will be consulted on a unified regulation before changes are enacted. Fire alarms remain restricted, and bell ringing is currently discouraged due to its impact on emergency response.

District Commissioners order the fire alarm bell at the insurance building corner Fourteenth and G Streets NW disconnected after complaints and claims the bell interfered with fire and police orders. The action aims to stop calls from the public that delayed fire alarm transmission and disturbed nearby offices. The same site’s loud gong was viewed as objectionable by tenants, prompting approval of the recommendation.

Interstate Rates Shift After Three Day Notice Rule
Interstate Commerce Commission grants limited concessions to Southern carriers on export cotton rates while enforcing a thirty day notice for published rates. The order allows reductions with three days notice and requires conspicuous posting at stations. The ruling delays full change until November 4, 1906, and maintains current equalization practices for cotton and cottonseed products. The notice also references army and marine corps exam coaching in Washington and a cosmetology clinic promotion.
