| ancies in other phases of the geogra-
ply OF the town are being discovered
by the workers engaged in revaiu-
ing local property. these errors
| showing up markedly on the fine set
of aerial maps which has been pre-
| pared. Houses located almost in the
| middle of streets, street names used
twice and even oftener, and even
| one group Of streets with no outlet
! have been found.
In the various developments In
the Mountain View section the maps
show many houses which are over
| the street lines, the linked lines or
the maps cutting the houses almost
in half in some cases and looping
eff front porches in others

i duplicated. these are frequent. lr

which runs past the TrumbulI fac.
tory there appears to be another one
only few hundred yards to the
, south OF il off Arcadia avenue

| but another one OF the same name
is found turning off Whiting neal
F! Hanson's factory. A Tomlinson av.
enue exists in Mountain View in al
