An Automobile Nuisance.

The New York Times
May 9, 1904

To the Editor of The New York Times:

Is it lawful, for keepers of automobile stables to convert the street and sidewalk into a filthy repair shop, while making deafening noises and filling adjacent houses with loathsome fumes and sickening smoke? If this latest nuisance and danger are an infringement on a city ordinance, to what authority should residents of West Sixtieth Street and other thoroughfares similarly infested appeal for protection?

This subject is of great concern to many sufferers, and finally it is most unjust to grant a privilege to some who in no manner deserve it, at the same time denying it to others whose work is of real importance to the community.
