AS the city grows older and larger
people resort more and more to the
name and number of streets in giving
directions and locations. Since con-
SOldatlon some confusion has resulted
from the use of the same name for
many streets on each side Of the river.
10 illustrate Front street is the
business street on the East Side and
also prominent street on the West
| Side. The same is also true of Oak.
Wisconsin, Franklin and other streets.
To obviate the difficulty East and
West side could be used in connection
with these names, if it was not
thought desirable tOchange the names
Of the streets. It would seem the
proper thing for the council TO take
up the matter of naming and number
ing the streets and posting the names
on street corners 50 that all might
become familiar with the names and
location of streets.
