The document is a letter written on October 30, 1980, to the editor of The Baltimore Sun in response to an article published on September 18, 1980, regarding the availability and prices of quiet power lawn mowers. The author, Stanley D. Zemansky, who is the City Purchasing Agent and President of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), states that quiet power lawn mowers are indeed available at competitive prices, contrary to what was mentioned in the article. Zemansky mentions that the NIGP is involved in the 'Buy Quiet' Program, which helps cities and counties purchase quieter models of products. The City of Baltimore is currently testing a quieter lawn mower provided by the Federal Government. Zemansky provides information about the noise levels of different power lawn mowers and mentions that quiet power lawn mowers operating in the range of 80dBA to 86dBA are available from well-known manufacturers and distributors such as Lawn-Boy and Sears, Roebuck and Company. He also mentions the quietest power lawn mower he is aware of, which operates at 80dBA and is manufactured by the Seifert Manufacturing Company. Zemansky concludes by stating that lawn mowers and other powered equipment do not have to be noisy to be effective.
