We, the undersigned, citizens Of this
city, respectfully petition your honor
able body to instruct the council COM
mittees on streets and alleys to prepare
a bill for an ordinance designating the |
north and south streets Of the city as
streets, beginning at the
east bench and numbering west; also :
designating the east and west streets |
as numbered avenues-beginuing At
the base Of the mountain or in the i'm ,
mediate vicinity thereof, and number
ing south such streets in the new sur :
vey as coincide or are in line. or near
" so, that the streets Of the old survey
might take the same name with the I
word "Sortb" prefixed; and such I
avenues as would be north Of First '
avenue might be called Ave
nues A. 3, Z, etc, to the corpora
lion limit. In view of the rapid g
growth OF the city, and the certainty !
that sooner or later the ten acre blocks
will be divided by north and south
streets, your petitioners respectfully
suggest that allowance be made for
this in numbering the present north
and south streets. For instance, as
Thirteenth East Street would be First
Street, let Twelfth Els; Street be Third
Street. and Eleventh East Stree. be ,
Fifth Street, etc, thus reserving Sec
ond, Fourth. 5 xth. etc. streets for the
new thoroughfares sure TO be opened
in time.
We also advise that, beginning with
The present First Street in the new sur
vey and lying north, the east and ives:
streets be named avenues, First Street
10 be an avenue with a name begin 7
ming with the letter A. as Albany ,
and, following this alpha s
be;ical rotation, going north, and in :
view Of the cutting up OF the blocks. !
all the north and south streets OF the .
new survey might be numbered, be-
ginning at the east bench.
Referred. !
