Probably for the same reason the one up here at the Beach was taken down. Urban pioneers moving in from the DC area objected to it because it "disturbed' and "scared" them.
The same way they've tried (and somewhat succeeded) in getting rid of duck hunting on the Bay offshore. They're now working to get rid of the watermen's crabpots and banning fishing.
The are replacing the one in California with a PA type siren. In addition to an alert signal they will be able to have voice messages too. Maybe they are doing the same in Leonardtown.
Does anyone know why the fire department's siren was removed in Leonardtown? It seems strange not hearing it go off all the time.

I hate to sound dumb, but what is a PA type?
Public Address?
That's what I thought but can't picture how it will work. Guess I'll have to just wait and see!
I do miss the 12:00 siren.

Wakes you up to start your day?
I'm envisioning the Wizard of Oz.
And why don't they have a carnival anymore? :shrug:
I loved that carnival.
It's in the process of being replaced. They put ours (Ridge's) up yesterday and it won't be active until late next week. Valley Lee's was supposed to be today and I believe Leonardtown was Wednesday.
Thugs.
