THE city Is putting up the street
signs.
This Is 2 message that Is
being hailed with general delight
all over Brownsville today. The
entire city will be marked at ev-
cry corner SO those that ride or
run may read.
In doing this no little bit Of the
taxpayers money Is being expend-
ed for something the same tax
payers muchly desire.
But there remains a duty for
the taxpayers 10 perform before
the system OF directing the public
IS completed.
This is TO number your home,
and your rental houses.
With the street markers up the
searcher can find where he is.
but without the house markers
he cannot find exactly where he
wants to 60, and will still have
10 enquire OF the neighbors.
These numbers can be had at a
nominal sum. Let's get busy.
