tive Board, showing there are in the
city seventy-five streets in which there
I Is duplication Of house numbers or
conflict of street names. the board
has promised the postoffice authorities
that what can be done will be done in
! clearing away a troublesome situa-
/ tion-one that mystifies and delays
clerks and carriers in the Richmond
postofiice, and prevents, in many in
stances, the giving of the best pos-
| sihle service.
/ 1t is only when ERIK in the local
| postoffice Is so well acquainted with
the city and it's streets and house
numbers that he knows where the
streets start and where the numbers
begin and end that he can work" the
mail into the routes OF the proper
carriers that delays are obviated in
delivery of mail on streets with con-
fiicting names and numbers.
The situation was laid before the
city officials by Postmaster Thornton
some time ago He was referred to
the Administrative Board and that
. body asked him to provide a list of
the names of the streets in which con-
fiict comes. Postmaster Thornton
presented the following, which indi-
Gates that some street names must be
changed. and received assurance that
