police under that towns new antinoise bylaw Evidence was given that the man was playing a tape deck and the sound could be heard a block away Fergus town council had delayed any action on complaints from apartment dwellers of excessive noise caused by people loitering in the street until the case was settled This shows the bylaw Is at least something we can work by said councillor James But Its not any cureall for the noise problem And I dont think toe problem is serious enough to warrant the extra cost of bringing every incident to court or hiring another policeman he said The councillor noted there were seven licenced hotels in Fergus 70 years ago five of them on the main street There were few complaints then about noise There was a big life He suggested the present noise problem could be attributed to growing pains The town is in a period of change and its affecting certain sections Theres no way Fergus can remain a sleepy little town he said happy former years Campers back
