vEroEs HOUSE NUMBERING ORDINANCE.

Mayor Mcclellan in veto filed with the Board
of Aldermen yesterday dsapproves OF the ordi-
nance passed by the board providing for conspcu-
Gus numbering OF buildings in the city.
The provisions OF this ordinance are in my opin-
Ion. far too harsh.' the Mayor says. ITO compel
the owner of every building to display a street
number IN such manner that 1t could be plainly
seen and read from the sidewalk at all times dur
Ing the day and night would impose q great hard-
ship and expense upon the majority OF the prop
crty in the city. When IL is considered that
such provision would :equire the constant ilu-
mination of all street numbers throughout the
night it's nadv!sability becomes obvious
The Mayor says, however that he IS IN favor
of such ordinance along more reasonable lines.
