HOUSE NUMBERING PLAN ADOPTED
The Preliminary Work TO COM
mence at Once.

The Preliminary Work 10 Com
mence at Once.
The city council settled the house num-
bering question yesterday by adopting
a modification of the ordinance already
before It. providing for the beginning Of
the preliminary work at once and for the
commencement of the actual work Of
numbering the houses by Oct l., and for
its completion by Dec 81.
The putting up OF street signs has been
left out of the house numbering ordi-
nance. and will be taken up as a separate
matter.
In numbering the houses the decimal
or block system will be used, as originally
provided for. Some changes have been
made however, in the original plan. The
first block, starting from Bay, south, or
Bull. east and west. will be numbered
from one to 100 the next block commencing
with 101 instead of 200. Odd numbers viii
be on the south and west sides of the
streets. as at present. instead of on the
north and east sides, as first intended un-
der the new plan. Street running east
and west will be designated as Bay street
East, and Bay street West; South Broad
street East, and South Broad street
West. instead of East Bay and West Bay,
and East South Broad and West South
Broad as would have been required I'M
der the original plan.
The division of 100 numbers for streets
running north and south, will be as fol-
lows: Bay TO Broughton streets; Brough-
ton to South Broad; South Broad TO Lib
erty; Liberty to Jones; Jones to CASTOR
The divisions south of CASTOR street will
be 100 numbers to every block Streets
running north and south, having their
beginning elsewhere than at Bay street.
Will be numbered so as to have the num-
bers correspond with the numbers on par
allel streets. and streets running east
and west beyond East Broad and West
Broad streets, although with another
! name will be numbered as If they were a
continuation Of the streets ending al
| those points.
are the same as those originally provided
for in the plan recommended by the com
mittee on city lots which has the matter
in charge.

The Council Agrees Upon It's Pur-
chase for Engine Co. No. 2.
The city has decided to buy the lyman
property. at West Broad and Indian
streets, for site for No. 2 engine COM
pany
The matter had already been practically
decided by council in committee of the
whole, and the action of the committee
was ratified by the council in open ses-
sion at yesterdays meeting. The lyman
property was chosen in preference to the
Strasser property, on Bay street. the mr.
chase OF which was recommended by two
members of the fire commission. Messrs.
Nell and Parish. Chairman Grayson rec
commended the purchase of the Tvnan
properly, although it would cost the civ
somewhat more than the other property.
on account of its eligibility. There is a
two-story building already on the lyman
property, which is just the thing for an
engine house, with the few improvemen
contemplated, and the building of a one
story annex. While the cost is a. little
more, this site appears to possess every
advantage over the other sites suggested.
