I found this page that has all of the 1974 technical service bulletins released by Dodge,
including several specifically for the Monaco.

The 1970 Hamtramck Registry "1974 DODGE MODEL TSBs Index" Page

What the hell is a "New York City - Country Horn"?

I had the same question.

From what I have been able to find out, NYC had a law that car horns had to be switchable
from loud.. to quiet, depending on whether you were driving in the city or the country.
(They had to be quieter in the city)

... The law lasted only one year.

but it does look like there was something specific about 1974.

I found pic1 on a page showing "1974 Nova Dealer Options"
City/Country Horn Underdash Control pictures from cars photos on webshots

your friend in appropriately loud horns,
