NEED HOUSE NUMBERS
Over Half the Residences, Stores,
Apartment Buildings and Other
Structures in Chicago Are
Without Them.

The casual observer cannot fail to
notice that one Of the crying needs
of Chicago is street numbers on the
buildings.
Since the passage OF the new street
car ordinance, which provides for
the stopping Of the cars at even
numbered corners only, the absence
of the numbers is painfully notice.
able, and much annoyance is felt in
consequence.
Letter carriers and others who have
long suffered from this fragrant dis.
regard Of the law requiring numbers
on every house, have grown tired Of
uttering complaints. No attention
was paid to them.
Whole blocks all over Chicago are
without numbers, and no one in au.
thority appears to care about the
fact.

To exploit agricultural lands in Lower

Gen, Amado Aguirre. Under Secretary
of Development and Agriculture.
There was nothing In the eonces-
sions, II was asserted by the under
secretary. that might possibly lead TO
difficulties as far as the Monroe Doc

In the interview Gen. Aguirre Is
quoted as follows:
at is absurd to give credit to or take
seriously the news published today
that there Is imminent and interna-
| tional conflict because of the fact that
japanese subjects or companies are
arranging TO acquire lands In Lower
California, said 10 belong to the Cal
ifornla and Mexican Land Company
of Los Angeles.
"In the first place, the lands. which
were given by Il concession In 1881 TO
the Mexican Land Company, were de-
tsared the property OF the pre-constl-
tutional government on April Z. 1917,
which action rendered void the conces.
sion granted to the Mexican Land
Company. Since then the government
has appointed commission TO divide
these lands and sell item 10 MeXicans
IN small lots
Moreover even though lananes Sc
companies do propose Ia acquire. as Is
alleged, huge tracts of land in Lower
California they cannot be aided by our
government, since the Mexican consti-
tuition in article XXXVlI, expressly
states that no foreigner can acquire
land In a zone 100 kiometers approx
imately thirty-three miles) wide from
foreign frontier nor in belt fifty
kiIometers seventeen miles) wide
along the shores of the Pacific Ocean
or the Gulf Of Mexico.

secure Mexican citizenship they could
not acquire 100000 acres Of land, ms ii
