NEED FOR NUMBER
ING RESIDENCES OF
THE CITY IS FELT
Strangers Find Task of Locating
Objective is Very Difficult Un
der Present System.
The query has been made quite
often in the past few months as to
why the residences over the city are
not numbered in the custom of other
places of tli is tize and which would
aid very much In locating a person's
residence.
To those who have lived in the
city for years, the location of a place
as "the second house west of Smith's"
may be a. good guide, but to the
stranger it is as clear as mud and
the person i3 just as much in the
dark as before they received the in
formation. The proper numbering of the prop
erties along the different streets
would make the finding of a person's
home a comparatively easy matter
compared witii the present methods.
Years ago the city made an effort to
overcome this difficulty by having
the different properties numbered
and this for several years made it
very convenient in looking up any
one, but in the later years this was
abandoned and a stranger moving
into the city 'did not know whether
they lived in Xo. 1 or No. 1.000 and
accordingly found difficulty in mak
ing the location of their homes
known when ordering goods from
the business houses of the city.
Also the numbering of the houses
would be necessary if the city is to
ever have free city delivery and we
trust that sometime in the not too
distant future a real scrap will be
made for free delivery that will re-
cult in the city getting what it has
long been in need of to be a real
first class city.
We have at the present time many
Btrangera moving into the city to
make their homes and should endeav
or to see that the properties along
the various 6treets are numbered so
that a person can have some idea of
how. to locata their home.
h RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL
From Friday' Daily.
The F. E. Pfoutz home is one of
the happiest places in the city today
and because of the fact that yester
day afternoon Mrs. Pfoutz was able
to be brought home from the Metho
dist hospital in Omaah where she has
been for the past several weeks re
covering from the effects of an opera
tion of a very severe nature. Mrs.
Pfoutz is feeling very much improved
and ReT. Pfoutz and daughter are
exceedingly happy that the wife and
mother is able to be home again.
MRS. HIGLEY POORLY
Mrs. James B. Higley has been
confined to her home the past few
days by a very severe attack of chills
and her condition has become so seri
ous that her children have been call
