I Murielle Rose, 2427 S. Baldwin Avenue, addressed the Council to try ! to obtain help with regard to problems she is having with residents of an apartment building next to her property.

She complained that she is bothered by noise at all hours of the day and night, litter is strewn on her yard, her I dog is teased and she has even had a problem with small boys throwing lighted matches onto her property. Councilmember Young asked if the noise went on all the time. Ms. Rose said it was worse during the summer months. Councilmember Young asked how many people might be occupying an apartment. Ms. Rose said she was not sure, but some- times the living room looked like a convention center.
