| Street numbers
| To the Common Council of the City of st.

GENTLEMEN: Iwould call the attention of
| your honorable body to the condition OF the
street numbers of this city. No maps have
been made since August 10, 1880, and the whole
| matter is in an unsettled state. Complaints
| loud and long assail my office constantly;
most of these complaints arise from an entire
misconception of the general plan, which l be-
| lieve to be as good @ one as can be adopted Tor
| a city so irregular as ours. I would respect
| fully ask that committee be appointed to in
vestigate the matter, that an opportunity be
| given to hear complaints and suggestions, and
| that may receive definite instructions from
your honorable body before proceeding further
with the plans or giving out more numbers.
Yours respectfully, L. w. RUNDLErT,
