WOULD ENFORCE
NUMBERING LAW
Chamber of Commerce Names
Committee to Take Up Matter
With City Fathers.

With the lack OF cooperation on the
part OF many residents in having their
houses numbered according to the off,
cial map adopted by the City more
than year ago, the Chamber of Com
merce al its meeting last Monday eve
ming in Salem Church basement, Yoic-
ed their sentiments in no uncertain
terms regarding this very important
matter. Through the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce. a movement
was started about two years ago with
view TO establishing a uniform sys-
TEN OF numbering houses in the city.
After considerable labor on the part
Of a committee which had been named
Tor the purpose, the Chamber interest
ed Council in this movement, and
Council ordered two maps prepared
showing the correct numbers for ev-
cry piece of property within the city
limits. These maps were completed
at considerable expense, and much ex-
pensive clerical work was found neces-
sary to complete the system, all of
which expense Council provided for.
in order that any property owner
might secure his correct number, one
of these maps is filed in the office of
the City Clerk, where the information
may be secured merely upon making
the request. Every property owner
should display sufficient civic pride to
see that this is done at once. There
are many advantages in having your
property correctly numbered, but it is
essential, to be effective, that all prop
critics are numbered according to the
map. Anyone doing business that re-
olf L.
importance of this. If one home is
numbered according to the old hit-and-
miss system and another according to
the modern system adopted by the
City. 1t, of necessity, becomes very
confusing to stranger, especially as
two houses in many blocks apart, on
the same street, will bear the same
number. The delivery of mail by city
carriers would be greatly helped, too,
were the houses correctly number
This is a matter that deserves the i'm
mediate attention of all property own
ers.
