TO RENUMBER THE HOUSES.
The Contract Awarded and a Canvass
of the City Now Beng Made.


The work of renumbering Savannah's
houses will begin as soon as the canvass of
the city, which is now being made, is fin
ished The contract for painting the new
numbers has been awarded to Christopher
Murphy. The numbers will be in plain
gilt on Japanned metal plates inches
long by 3 inches wide, with a marrow gil.
border.
Mr.. T. II. Gignilliat is making a canvass
OF the entire city north of Anderson street
for the purpose of locating the new mum
bers and ascertaining how many and what
numbers will be required. As soon as the
canvass is complete the work of putting W
the numbers will begin under the
direction Of Alderman Thomas, chair
man of the Street and Lane Committee.
The present system OF numbering will be
adhered to, and the missing and indistinct
numbers Will be replaced by new numbers,
except in cases where the owners of houses
desire more elaborate style of number
than that put up by the city. In that case
they will be allowed to put up any style
that may be desired, SO long as the number is
conspicuous and it is the correct number. In
many instances whore handsome gilt num-
bers have been put on residences it will be
necessary to erase or change the number in
order to make the numbering perfect.
Alderman Thomas said yesterday that
the present plan of numbering is without
doubt the best that can be adopted. The
streets north of CASTOR street, from East
Broad to West Broad streets, are numbered
pretty correctly now, except in few in
stances on the north side of Bay street The
old system, which will be adhered to, was
to number east and west from East Broad
street, beginning at East Broad with No.
on the south side of the street, and running
easC and west, the even numbers being on
the north side. Two numbers were allowed
for every 80 feet.
Quite number of suggestions have been
made in regard to changing the plan of
numbering and the adoption of the Phila-
delphia and Baltimore system has been
urged. Alderman Thomas said that there
are serious objections to this. The city
north of CASTOR street is already numbered
on the old plan, or rather according to the
provisions of an existing ordinance. While
1T is true that not all of the houses are num-
bered, the greater portion are, and the num-
bers are pretty well fixed in the minds of
the people who resi- e in that part of the
city bounded by East and West Broad
streets and from the Bay to CASTOR street
There appears to be no good reason, the
Alderman said, why the numbers should
be changed to the inconvenience and en-
barrassment of the people. 1t will require
some time to make the canvass and locate
the new numbers, but the work will be
pushed as rapidly as it can be.
