ANOTHER FOR
WARD STEP
Citizens Want Houses and
Streets Of the City
Numbered.

There is a sentiment among
our business men and citizens
to have the streets and houses OF
the town numbered. The matter
will be presented TO the council
at their next regular meeting,
which occurs on the night Of
January 4th.
This would be a capital idea
and as everything is having an
upward tendency in Deming at
this writing, now would be a
propitious time TO take up and
consummate the improvement
The step is being favorably
received By almost all Of the resi-
dents Of the town and We believe
the village board would BE- acting
wisely to grant the request and
bring about the improvement.
The expense involved will lie
comparatively insignificant and
the benefit derived will b. pleas
ant to all.
Let enterprise and p9bi,c-
spiritedness take the lead and
Deming will be 4 bright jewel
in the crown of modern, up-tc-
date cities.
