Postmaster.W ID. Harris appeared before
the Council and asked TO have the streets
renumbered and, wherever it is found
necessary, the names OF the streets
changed. In some instances the names
that are now in place are confusing for
several reasons. Mr.. Harris stated that
he estimated that the work could be done
for $500 and he urged on the Council the
necessity OF doing this so the full benefit OF
the free delivery service, which will go
into effect July ], may be enjoyed. The
Council was disposed TO act favorably on
the postmaster's suggestion, but when
the treasurer informed them that only
about $1,000 of the miscellaneous fund re-
manned, they balloted and finally decided
to lay the matter over till the next meet
ing.

order all work on the highways stopped
until further notice. and 1t was passed
