Again Street Nomenclature,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Will you permit a hearing Upon this
much-discussed subject once more?
There seems to be no dissatisfaction on
the numbered streets, but only on the al
phabetical ones and yet really the plan
adopted by the architect of the city for
designating them is very simple, easy to
be understood even by strangers; but
strangers sometimes are misled by the
old numbers yet on a few houses, which
should be removed by authority.
On Monday last the writer of this was
inquired of by stranger at the corner of
Sd and East Capitol streets for 1O5 Sd
street northeast. While endeavoring to
explain to him the mode of numbering the
streets he said to me: Yes, l have been
very kindly informed, and find no diff
Guilty; but when l got at this point / find
the number 3D. pointing to a house on
the left side of Sd street, ION that house,
and am lost again." / informed him that
that was an old, obsolete number, which
for some reason was yet on the fronts
piece. but did not count. Looking across
on the right hand, the said: "Ah yes,
see No. over there. Thanks! Now 1 am
right again. and pursued his way above
A street.
Pardon this DEPRESSION, but the more 1
reflect on tkis subject the more 1 am con-
viIced that the present style cannot be
bettered. 1 would suggest that after the
twenty-five letters of the English alphabet
now used is exhausted that sixteen letters
of the Greek alphabet be used, leaving out
those of similar sounds. viz, zeta, eta,
theta, su. pi, phi. chi, psi, and using alpha,
beta, gamma, delta, epsilon. iota. kappa,
lambda, mu, XII, omricon, rho, sigma, taw,
upsilon, omega. Inasmuch as the northern
portion Of the city will be grand with the
universities. 1t Is very appropriate to give
a classical trend to the names Of the new
streets. Beyond this will probably be more
or less suburban. and the names of differ
ent kids Of trees might alphabetically be
called into reduisition.
The District line would probably be
reached in this way, and street nomen-
clature, unique and probably the most
practicable to be found in the world OBJ
tanned. and for the worlds greatest city
be produced.
Outside of Florida avenue no short
streets would probably be made and for all
the short streets running parallel with the
alphabetical ones. now 80 difficult to find by
their names, which have no reference to 10
syllables. the initial letter of each sylla-
BILE to be the lettered streets, which they
come between; thus, between b and C.,
Barclay or any other. the initial letters of
the syllables of which are and c. show
ing Immediately by the initials where the
between LIST and ID and B and c. and may
be either northeast or southeast.
For the short streets parallel with the
| numbered streets make them IL 10 1-2
are between. as IL, between 9Th and 7th:
10 1-2, between 10th and 1lth, northwest
or southwest
I think this solves the question once for
all OF this vexed contest and sincerely
hope the Commissioner may approve OF
it and the Congress Of the United States
embody 1t in law.

Consider the Amount Sufficient.

In a letter to the chairman of the SEN
ate District committee, Senator Mcmillan.
the District Commissioners report their
views in reference to the amendment in

provides for paving Whitney avenue from
14th street 20 Holmead avenue; Holmead

not included III the schedule of streets

ment.

The Cuban imbroglio comes as a
blessing to the people of Indiana in
this, that it impels short political
campaign this year. The managers
of the two great parties at least,
have practically decided that their
state conventions must be held late
some time in the fall A contrary de-
cision had been reached some time
ago. Then the cry was owe must
have an early convention. All this
has been changed by the prospect
of war with Spain. Now the con-
census of opinion is that neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans will
hold their conventions before the
first of September.
