For example, the A. B. Murray
home at the corner of Cherry and
Mound streets is 349. Directly across
Cherry street is the Kimmel Marshall
home, number 334.
The crazy mixed-up numbering
system is a constant problem for the
Post Office and the problem becomes
that of the village officials when new
number must be assigned. For
example there was the problem of
giving the Richards Lewises a num-
ber for the house they are now build
ing on South Jackson. Directly across
the street Mrs. Harvey Beidler has
number 346. The Lewis number
should be 345 or BAT. However, next
door north is the Gene Benroth home,
number 349 and next door south is
Edgar Hauenstein, number 1863. The

In Traffic Crash
Saturday Morning

Dan Gleason, 17-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Clarence Gleason, Route 2,
Bluffton, senior at Bluffton high
school this fall, received severe scalp
decorations and multiple bruises of
the body at 7:30 a. m. Saturday when
in a collision with a truck at the
the car he was driving was involved

U. S. Route BON.
State Highway patrolmen, invest-
eating the accident, reported Gleason
was travelling south on the Bentley
road when it collided with a truck
operated by TilIman B. Baer, 19,
Route 2, Elida, headed west on Route
BON.
Gleason, a member of the football
and basketball teams at Bluffton high
school, was treated at Bluffton Com
munity Hospital where he was taken

He was released Monday.

New BluftOn -BeaVerdam Phone Directory
Lists 46 More Names Than Last Year

A total Of ,465 telephones, as more
than last year at this time, are listed
in the August, 1856, edition of the
Bluffton-Beaverdam Telephone Direc-
tory which was distributed to sub
scribers in the mail last Friday.
Indicating an increasing population
in this area, there were % more
phones listed this year over last year
in the Bluffton section of the direc-
tory. The local exchange is now serv-
ing a total of 1,157 subscribers as
compared with !, ,128 last August.
In the Beaverdam section of the
book, which lists the new four digit
numbers, there is total of 308
phones, seventeen more than last
year.
Among the new phones in Bluffton
is one for the Ex-Cell-O corporation,
603-W, and the Bluffton Elementary
school is once again listed at 275-W
after a years absence from the book.
Size of the little grey-covered book
is exactly the same as for the past

Lewis home is now 357.
The problem recently came to the
attention of Mayor David L. Risser
when it became necessary to esta-
blish a number for the new Ex-Cell-O
plant. When the post office asked
the village to extablish the number
another crazy situation became appar-
ent.
The last numbered house on East
Jefferson street is that of Ezra
Basinger, number 1853, yet it was
deemed sensible by the mayor and
postal authorities to set the Excel
o number at 505-that compares with
the corresponding numbers at the
end of Cherry street.
Just to show how mixed-up the
system has become, take the first
house east of the Nickel Plate rail-
road on three parallel streets. On
East Jefferson, the Frank Painter
home east of the tracks is number
$50, on Cherry street the Farmers S
Grain Co. office is 256 and the
Cement Block Co. warehouse across
the street is 305. About the same
location on East College avenue
Bluffton Cement Block Co. office,
number is 156.
New building and expansion of
residential sections is bringing the
problem to a head, but TO renumber
the entire town would bring major
headache. Think of all of the maya
zine and newspaper subscription

Crazy Mixed-Up House Numbers
Pose Difficult Town Problem Here

It's problem most Blufftonites
would hesitate to touch with a ten
foot, pole, but someday someone will
have to do something to bring order
to the towns house number confusion.
Most residents scarcely notice the
problem exists. They pay no atten-
ton to house number anyway. But
strangers have difficulty understand
ing the Bluffton system which ap-
parently "just growed" like Topsy.
In most villages one can expect the
street numbers to jump 100 with
every new block, but not so in Bluff
ton. The 1900 block might actually
extend two or three blocks. And if
your house number is 22O don't expect
that the house directly across the
street will be 221. or 223, it is just
as likely to be 256.

be faced sooner or later.

Asked If there would be an at

with delegates from Hawaii,
Alaska and the other territories
as District Democrats tried to
do in Chicago, Mr.. Hart said he
sees no need for such a move.

from the chairman of the Re-
solutions Committee. Most Of
the chairman are coy about dis
cussing the contents of these en-
velopes. and many pretend that
they have not had time to read
them at all.
But since they contain, in con-
siderable detail, the views Of the
interested executive agency on
the subjects under discussion,
and since these views sum up the
accomplishments of the admin
listration and it's hopes for the
future, it is a safe bet that they
will be read before the platform
lis finally drawn up.
When they are. it seems likely
that a good deal Of the testi-
mony being solemnly absorbed
today will either go out the
window altogether. or become
the fainteSt of echoes in the
Republican manifesto for 1856.
