MARTINS FERRY.
mud MIShaps In tho Thriving CITY
Acru,, the Islysr.

Across the River.
Many persons arc Of tho opinion that
the names aud numbers Of the streets
in Martins Ferry should DO changed,
naming tho streets running north and
south and numbering them running cast
and west. II tho numbering would
commence at the south end OF town
Jefferson would BIO Ninth, Washington,
Tonth; Fayette, Eleventh; Clay,
Twelfth; Locust. Thirteenth; Hickory,
Fourteenth; Walnut, Fifteenth; Hano.
yer, Sixteenth, and so on. There uro
many rcasons why this should be done,
and no good renson why 1t should not
be done. II the streets running east
aud wess were numbered it would DO q
much easier matter TO locate any per.
son. and this would leave only n few
streets to name. The sooner tho city
council can act on the matter the better
it will DO for the town aud tho people.
