BACK
NUMBERING
CAMPAIGN
Council Leaders Also Approve the
Plan to Give Atlanta Modern
Street System.

Coupons from citizens urging sys-
tematic plan for remembering stores
and houses in Atlanta began coming
i'm Wednesday, and at the same time
leading city officials announced that
they were ready to take up the petit
ton Of the citizens with the hope Of
granting il.
They all agreed as to the need OF
this very important and neglected
municipal Improvement. 1t not only
has been the bane of existence of
mail clerks and merchants who de-
liver packages, but has been a source
Of endless worry to all citizens.
With the proposition approved by
Mayor Woodward and Councilman W.
Is. Humphrey, chairman of the
Finance Committee, Councilman
Claude g. Mason announced Wednes-
Gay thar he would introduce an or
dance at the next meeting of Coun-
ell providing for a new numbering
system.
Present System a Joke.
4 thoroughly agree that some
thing should be DONE" he said "Our
street numbering system as it now
is is a Joke. There is no reason in
,he world why it should not be reme-
died, and l think Council, as well as
the people, will Immediately respond,
u have been thinking of taking up
this plan for some time, but have not
known just how to proceed. The cen
fury plan of 100 numbers to the block
has been suggested, and it looks
feasible. However, the system OF
numbering the streets Is merely de-
tail, and can be easily worked out.
Evidence of the willingness of cit
izeus to pay the cost of their num-
hers is most encouraging. 1t won't
be but a very small amount in each
case of course, but with the city
treasury strained as it is to pay the
cost Of providing numbers for every
house in Atlanta would be a burden
at this time.
y believe the cost OF having the
proper surveys for the numbers made
will be borne readily by Council
Mayor Welcomes Move.
Mayor Woodward said that many
letters to him complaining about the
bewildering house numbering system
had caused him a great deal of worry
and that he was glad the matter
mad been taken up.
Il will be glad to give 1t all the
support I cam" he said.
Chairman Humphrey has had so
many requests for money that he de-
ciared he hated to consider anything
new but that plan to give Atlanta
an intelligent numbering system, es-
peeially since the people seemed
willing to bear practically half the
cost. was worthy of immediate con-
sideration by every member of Coun-
I'll, he said.
The Georgian will continue to pub
fish the coupons. If you want your
house numbered so it can easily be
1und mail one in at once.
