 For several days past the work of re- numbering a number of the streets in the Anenx has been in progress. Town send avenue is being renumbered from the lighthouse to the terminus and the numbers will reach up into 1900 or so. Quinnipiac avenue renun1bering begins at the Four Corners and proceeds north and the total numbers will be about 1000. The renumbering of East Grand avenue begins at Quinnipiac river and proceeds east. A number of the side streets are also being renum- bered and from west to east. There was much confusion in the numbers previously, for in the case of Quinni- piac avenue there were three different sets of numbers. Fairmount avenue is also being renumbered. The work was SOI1l6 IIlISG WSSh5 ctSo olAN eNtA residents were notified that the renun- bering must be done in sixty days. The only street on the west side to be re- numbered is Ferry street. It was nec- essary in this exceptional case, because there was second set of numbers on the east side. The renumbering begins at Quinnipiac avenue and the numbers will run up to about $50. The renunl- bering will prove a great convenience in the delivery of mails, as heretofore the numbers of many of the Annex streets have been much mixed and very confusing.
