From The Indianapolis Star, Tuesday, June 3, 1913: “Notice – Zone of Quiet” would be posted in a radius of 250 feet of hospitals if an ordinance introduced by President Charles F. Copeland at last night’s city council meeting, at the request of the superintendents of Deaconess and Methodist Hospitals, becomes law. The doctors asked for the “quiet zone” ordinance because patients need quiet to induce recovery. The ordinance provides that the making of any unnecessary noise about the hospitals, including the playing of itinerant musicians, which may tend to disturb the peace and quiet within the zone is a nuisance. Another proposed ordinance that was introduced would “make it unlawful…when driving into…Monument Place, to turn in any other direction than to the right…until driving off of…Monument Place.”
