Number the Houses.

Men are here arranging to get
out city directory for the town
and they are receiving considera-
ble encouragement. But one thing
will prevent a complete city direc-
tory being issued and that is the
houses are indifferently nun bered,
and in many instances there are
several houses in block that
never saw a numb ber.
If the property owners do not
number the houses the tenants
should demand that it be done and
if that does not accomplish the
desired result the city council
should pass on n ordinance requiring
the houses to be nun bered.
Last spring the council passed
resolution requesting that the
houses all be nun bered, but very
few people needed the request.
