The ordinanee introduced in the council ...

The ordinanee introduced in the council renumbering the streets of Ann Arbor, should be promptly passed at the next meeting. The Argus has f rom time to time cal led attention to anotnalies existing in the present numbering of the city, and no city in the country has more of them. In addition to those already mentioned, we may state that Observatory st. is numbered from three different points, from Huron st., from Geddes ave. and from somewhere in the center of the street. Church st. contuins several houses which bear the same number. Take any particular number on a street running north and south and you are apt to find that the same number on the next parallel street is a block or two nearer or farther from Huron st. Nearly all the progressive cities of the country have adopted the system of numbering worked out in the ordinanee introduced in the council, and it is the only scientific numbering system which has stood the test. Strngers coming from other cities would quickly understand it. It would greatly f acilitate the delivery of mail and would enable anyone on hearing a street aud number to know just how far away the house was, before they hunted it up. The ordinanee should pass just as it is.
