Mayor Joins Move
To Number Streets
On Centenary Plan

Mayor Woodward Friday Joined the
movement to secure an intelligent
street numbering plan for Atlanta
81 think The Georgian is right In
urging the adoption of the centenary
plan,' he said. "A stranger had as
well try to find his way through a
jungle as to locate an address I'M
assisted in some parts of Atlanta.
There are natural division of At
lanta into four sections. the railroads
dividing north and south, and White
hall and Peachtree streets making the
eastern and western divisions. Start
ing with these divisions the plan to
have 100 numbers to a block would
be a great help to the city.
The principal objection I hear to
the plan is that Atlanta's streets are
laid off so badly that no plan would
help much. That is a mistake. We
can't expect to have our city num-
bered as simply as Washington, but
the centenary plan would be great
help"
