Gentlemen: Some months ago the matter of renumbering the City streets was referred to the City Manager. I have taken this propo- sition up with the City Engineer and we have worked out a plan which is shown on the map of the City, for re- numbering all the houses within the City. The plan which we recom- mend briefly is based on Couler Avenue and Clay Street as the north and south line. All points as shown by the lines parallel to Couler Ave- nue and Clay Street, one block to the east are to be numbered from 0 to 100, and in the second block from 100 to 200. On the west of Couler Avenue the same method prevails. In other words, all buildings in the City equi- distance from Clay Street and Couler Avenue, located on streets running at right angles to Clay street and Couler Avenue, will have approximately' the same num- bers. The other base line is Dodge street, starting at the river and running west to Grandview and through the change of name in South Street to Dodge Street will ex- Regular Session, February 7th, 1921 19 tend to the east as far as the City is developed. All points approxi- mately the same distance north or south of Dodge Street will be given the same numbers. On account of the crookedness of Dodge Street this is not quite ideal for this pro- position, but is the best located street in the City. Then, too, by us- ing Dodge Street as the base run- ning east and west all numbers in the business part of the city on streets running north and south will be left undisturbed, which is quite a desirable factor. The plan for re- numbering the buildings in the city was submitted to the Committee on Street Names, and I believe met with their approval. In case the Council approves this plan for re- numbering, the matter of providing numbers will be given consideration lat Pe rsonally, I feel that in view of the large number of house numbers and the expense to individual prop- erty owners, that the City should se- cure these numbers and furnish them to the property owners at cost. In this way uniformity can be secured and at the same time lessen the expense to the property owners. Respectfully submitted, O. E. CARR, City Manager.
