our citizens during the next week or
ten days, not to arrest them but to
tack up house numbers on the DWELL
ings and business houses in the city,
which will be a convenience to stran-
gers in finding where people reside.
All numbers start from City Hall, and
no number is less than 100. Hence the
numbers run from 100 up to over 700.
In ascertaining where a person resides
or does business, the first thing to
find out is the street and then the num-
Der. Some numbers are duplicated but
not on the same street. Even numbers
are on the right and odd on the left.
The first numbers were put up yester-
day afternoon on Centre street.
