100 to Block System
Is Again Urged for
Atlanta'S Numbering

As result Of vigorous protest from
officials Of the postonce and the Cham
Der Of Commerce. council will probably
adopt the centenary plan Of street nun
bering. This is the plan arbitrarily
giving 100 numbers to the block. which
has proved satisfactory in many other
cities
Assistant Postmaster Coles and V.
II. Kriegshaber, Of the Chamber of
Commerce. explained to the streets
committee CT council yesterday after
noon how the delivery Of mails was
handicapped by the duplicates in street
names and the irregular numbering Of
houses. Chairman Harvey Hatcher
and the other members Of the commit
tee said they were ready to do anything
they could to improve matters Chief
of Construction Clayton said that cor
rect numbers would be furnished at his
Office to all who would call for them.
For some time officials have urged
that the present system of house num-
centenary plan should be adopted. IN
der this plan all the houses in the first
block Of street are numbered between
and 100 in the second block. between
100 and 200 and so TO the end Thus
when one knows a house number he
also knows the block IN which It is To-
Gated. There may be enough houses in
the first block to count only TO go but
the next block would start with 100.
