Writ Franklin is erecting two cot
tages near his residence on Stanley

c. l.. Byrne is making extensive ad-

Ollie congregation are making extern
siye addition to St Agnes Academy.
BESIDES these already enumerated
there are many owners of lots in this
ward who are preparing to build cot
tages for rental purposes, figuring that
an income from improved property is
better than paying taxes upon a naked
lot, especially when the lot is situated
in this most desirable location.

PUT CORRECT NUMBER
ON YOUR HOUSE
CITY ENGINEER CAN FURNISH
ALL NECESSARY INFORMATION
MUST BE DONE AT ONCE.

Some time ago Postmaster Douglas
appeared before the mayor and city
commissioners and made a report as
to the demands of the postoffice de-
rartment relative to the correct num-
berine of houses in the city within
the districts wherein mail was deliv-
cred by carrier, stating at the time
that the department was no, at al
satisfied with present conditions and
intimated that no more territory
would be embraced within the car
rier limits until this was remedied.
This report had the effect to get
the commissioners busy and notify
property owners that numbers must
be secured and placco on dwellings
and business places at once.
Today City Engineer Myers stated
that any property owner within the
city of Ardmore who desired to Sc
cure the correct number of his prop
erty could do so by applying to the
office of the city engineer at the
city hall. Each lot is numbered for
every twenty-five feet, and he stated
that persons owning a lot of greater
dimension would be given the number
nearest the position of the residence
upon the lot, in that manner the cor
rect numbering of the houses could
be maintained.
