NUMBERING-.THE HOUSES.
Resolution of Councils Is Reported
on Favorably.
Common Council has taken the llrst
step towards a street system In the ac
tion of the street committee In report
lug favorably on the resolution of the
hist meeting asking for bids for street
signs,
The resolution was referred to com
mittee nt Its Inst meeting, II directs
the city clerk to advertise for bids for
furnishing street signs where none Is
to be found at the present. Tin1 meas
ure was In readiness to he reported last
night, but common council did not
li'c'l ; there was no quorum.
Though this action of council Is com
mendable, If not more than being an
Indication of the sincerity In co-operal-Ing
with t'ostmnsler Thomas, yet It
does not appear to be the right way
to dispose of the mutter. What Is de
sired is not that there be signs for the
streets already named, as It Is to ninn"
those streets which have no names
and to number the houses that have
no numbers. There are so many
streets and part of streets which bear
no name, and It is tills phase of th
situation thai cries for attention,
These streets must be named before
signs can be erected and councils must
do this llrst. through the proper com
mittees. This is the starting point In
remedying the defect that exists, and
If any other course be taken now, It
will necessitate a covering of tracks.
What delay and expense would be
the consequence, a brief study will re
veal. This suggestion Is worth bearing
In mind and should be heeded when
the resolution now in committee's
hands is presented to common council.
FOOT BALL ON THANKSGIVING.

JERMYN AND JV1AYFIELD.
The High school building was recent
ly found to be in a serious condition
the sides having bulged out owing to
the weight of the roof. Last week the
directors employed Amdrew Whitlock
to put the building in a safe condition
and he has had 11 number of iron rods
put through the upper part of tho
structure extending from side to side
and by this means the sides have been
drawn together in their proper position.
The discovery of the defect was not
made too soon as a heavy fall of snow
lodged on the roof would cause such an
Increase in the weight as to have had
a serious effect upon the building. The
general opinion now is that the build
ing has been ho strengthened by the
rods that it is more substantial than
when llrst built. Of course all fear of
danger has been removed.
The Literary society, composed of
graduates of the public school, which
