this city have been lawfully designated by
numbers. To call them anything other than
by these designations Is unlawful. In order
that the citizens may know what these names
are, the city should paint the numbers on
boards, and nail these up in proper and con-
spicuous places, at least on the corners on
Main streets and Franklin avenue.
