The Democrat has discovered one
way in which Pine Bluff leads Little
Rock. The Democrat says:
pine Bluff has an ordinance re-
quiring the owners of property to have
their houses numbered In this re-
gard she is ahead of Little Rock. The
Democrat has frequently called atten-
tion to the necessity for some such
requirement here. but has apparnntly
failed to impress the city council with
the Importance of the scheme. Not
only should the houses be properly
numbered, but the names of the streets
should be posted on the various cor
ners.''
Pine Bluff leads Little Rock in more
ways than one. and while the Little
Rockians could not be expected to
confess it, still they realize it just the
same.
