MASON To OPEN
STREET NUMBER
FIGHT MONDAY
Resolution Crowded Out Last
Week by Budget SquabbIe to
Pass This Time.

Definite action In the fight for an
up-to-date street numbering system
for Atlanta will be taken at the meet
ing of the City Council Monday aft
ernoon when Councilman Claude c.
Mason introduces the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That the Streets Com
mittee consider means for providing a
better street numbering plan for At
lanta, and provide for the adoption
at once Of the centenary plan, If It is
possible"
Consideration of the new budget
has caused the postponement of
Councilman Mason's ordinance, but
this time 1t seems certain the Council
will adopt it. When 1t reaches the
Streets Committee the real public de-
mand for the reform will be pre-
scented.
Many coupons that have been mail
ed to The Sunday American and The
Georgian. by which residents have
agreed to pay for their numbers If
the Council will provide a good sys-
tenn, will be placed before the city Of
ficials. These coupons obviate the
problem of cost in making the i'm
provement.
The legislative committee of the
Federation of Trades will read reso-
buttons adopted at the last meeting of
the Federation indorsing the move
ment, of Postmaster Jones and others
of the need for the improvement of
the mail service and the convenience
of citizens.
Mayor Woodward and a majority OF
the Council have approved the plan
and the only obstacle in its way is the
matter of securing small sum of
money to defray the engineering cost.
