more, they strongly recommended the autheri-

Suggestions about street Names and
Numbers

Editor Star; The number Of new streets laid
out the past few years, and to which arbitrary
names have been given, already cause trouble,
and will ss they increase render our excellent
system of numbering of slight advantage. /
would suggest that where these streets become
necessary, let those running parallel with let
tered ones commence with the same letter as
the one hig hest in the alphabet-thus, Myrtle
street, being between / and X, should bear
name beginning with the former letter. Thee
let the streets running parallel with numbered
ones, such as Columbia street, which Is between
9th and 10th streets, be called Ok street, as has
been done in former cases. This plan will i'm
mediately tell the locality Of streets bearing
names other than alphabetical OF numerical
which streets will become more and more neces-
sary as our city spreads its boundaries. II would
have been an excellent plan to have made every
alternate street in this manner; A street being
followed by Adams, LIST street by TX, thus giving
twice the number Of names to make use of.
is not time that merchants on our busy
streets discarded the old numbers from their
places of business? The apparent hiatus of
several hundred dwellings between two adioin-
ing ones Is ridiculous as well as confusing.
Neither is there any use of preserving the old
when the new one Is adopted; If the public have
not by this time become accustomed to the
change they certainly will not by retaining
both systems. Coil KCToR
