This conversation will be apropos
|of the ordinance which came up for
first reading at the meeting of the
lefty council last night, which pro-
poses many changes in street names
| in order to fit the new numbering or
dinance. It's provisions do not end
there, but change various block num-
bcrs as we'll.
One of the chief troubles with Ely
heretofore has been the number of
blocks III the camp designated by the

The ordinance will change, when
lie becomes a city law, block on Ely
street to block E. Blocks 1. 2, 3
and 4 between Ely and High streets,
will be changed to blocks H, 2 H,
3 H and 4 H. Block on Court
street will be C.
The streets running north and
lsouth intersecting those trending
'easterly and westerly will be raleed
two numbers after Mill and Murry'
streets are passed In order to pre-
serve regularity in numbering. Thus
the street now known as Third will
lie Fifth and on until the street
known as Tenth will be made

will be known as Clark.
Final reading of the numbering or
ldinance introduced several weeks

council. Its provisions are clear

a block, rise in numbering to be had
from west to east and from north to
south Thus from First to Second
streets on Aultman would be 100 and
/ the same method would prevail an
along the line.
Upon application to the city engi-
Ireer a certificate assigning proper
/ numbers will be given each property
i 45 days to affix the numbers.
i Buildings erected after the ordi-
} nance has become law must be
numbered within 80 days. Numbers

worth while for owners of property
to pay attention to 1t.

of order for the council were adopted
Ilupon final reading and one or two
i -lother matters brought up.
