stress Numbers.
Mn EDIfoR: In addition to the re-.
marks of "a Sufferer" on the subject of
numbering the streets, etc lin this city
Ia matter eniuently worthy cf the At
tention Of the city fathers OF Keokuk--I
wish to call attention to the method Of

which have been acquainted. The
principle is to begin numbering each
block. commencing at fixed point, with
. uev hundred. Thus, from East to
West. the numbers commence at First
Street With lpi. l02, 1913 end 90 an. At
Seeaad Street, they begin with col, 2O2,
203, aud SO pu--the number Of she hun.
