Robert Guyette of Bay Road complainel that he was kept awake by a plow which began operating by his home before midnight and was still operating at 12:30 A.M. He called the Sheriff-' s Dept. but they claimed his complaint -- was groundless, that it was not that late. Mr. Solomon sympathized with Mr. Guyette and stated he also lived in an area where the plowing had to be done in the late evening when all the traffic had stopped. Mr. Solomon stated that laws enacted to control noise in various communities in New York state have proven invalid when put to the test in higher courts. Town Attorney Harold Katz cited a recent Appellate Court decision in which the court refused to enjoin a constriction company from hauling gravel 20 hours a day because it viewed the road being built by the firm as important to more people than the disturbance --aused by the 20 hour a day hauling of gravel. Mr. Solomon stated that tie problem of noise would be the subject of a seminar at next months convocat'on of the Assoc. of Towns in New York City. He indicated there were hopes for a standardized ordinance. He warned pp 2 there was little likelihood of an ordinance that would regulate noise from snowplows or emergency vehicles.
