A hotel managing director asks the District Commissioners to curb the continual horn-blowing of cars in wedding processions.
The "so-called humorists" who tie everything to the family flivver except the bathtub and sink and ride around the business section of Washington to celebrate a wedding were given a severe jolt today by Frank S. Hight, managing director of the Willard Hotel.
Protesting to the District Commissioners against the "unnecessary" noises of wedding celebrants, Mr. Hight said:
"It is fully realized that in the business section of the town there are certain noises which must be endured, but it is equally true that there are certain unnecessary noises which should not need to be endured, and one of these is that which is caused by the so-called humorists, who rig up an automobile containing a bridal couple with ribbons and then dash madly through the streets with the horn on that car and the four or five cars following it blowing continually."
Mr. Hight's complaint was referred to Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police.
