STATUS: A second set of hands has checked the count and recorded where the methods differ. The current rule remains in force at the Upper Chamber of Measures.
RECORD: The noise petitions, foundry schedules and the chamber’s hearing minutes. This file counts 25 signed petitions; the prior count was 22.
DISPUTE: Residents describe interrupted sleep; the foundry says several orders can only be completed after the water-powered line slows.
WHY IT MATTERS: The decision concerns whether night work can continue beside homes without making the hearing rule a blanket industrial ban. The current count does not settle how the rule should allocate the cost.
NEXT: The clerk is to publish the proposed quiet hours with the affected shift rosters attached. The clerk has marked the file QUIET-HOUR-RULE-25 for the next public review.
