L THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1872 THE “DECIMAL SYSTEM. Explanation of Alderman Bond’s Sys tem of Numbering Streets. ‘Why Xt s an ¥mprovement on thi Style Now in Vogue. On Monday evening, the Council passed thy following ordinance on the subject of stred; numbers, an ordinance prepared by Aldermas Bond, and earried through, in great part, by his exertions : An ordinance sdopting the decimal system of number ing gtrects, and changing the names of ceriair streets, and amending Chapter XLV of the Revised Ordinances of the City of Chicago. Bejtordained by the Common Council of the City of icago : BECTION L That the decimal system of numbering streets be adopted as tho system of numbering stzxcts in the City of Chicago, * SEC. 2. That Madison street shell bo the dividing or ‘base line for numbering all north and south streets, and all disgonal streets, and that State strect bo the divid- ing or base line for numberingall eastand west strests, BEC. 3. That the word * west ” be taken-from tho nameof sil streets running west from orof State street, and the word “south” from the names of all streetsTurning south from orof Madison street; {hat the word “east”™ be prefixed or added to the name of each and all streets running ezst of or from Statestrect, and the word ““north ” to the name of all sireets run- ning north of or from Madison strest, and that the ‘word strect shall include 2venues, court, or places. 8re, 4. That 100 numbers beassigned on each street, £ each block or square not exceeding 400 feet in length or width, that to all blocks or squares_exceeding . 400 feet 200 nimbers shall be assigned, and that intirven- Ing narrow etreets and alleys shall not be taken or con- sidered as boundaries of blocks or squares, Brc. 5, That no permit fee shall be charged or ro-- quired for numbering any building now numbered. SEc. 6, That the Board of Public Works ehall proceed and renumber the streets in accordence with the provisions hereof ; and when the same is com- pleted for cither divislon or for the whole city, they hall give notice thereof in the corporation newspaper; and it shall be the duty of the owners or occupants of all buildings to proceed and renumber their buildings ‘within thirty days after such notice shall be given. 8gc, 7. Thst all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict or inconsistent with this ordinanca be and ‘the same are hereby repealed, The ordinance was opdposed in the Conneil, gince it was a change, and since it was expensive, Thelast objection 18 _true, but the expenseis slight for each individual, and the total amount vrifibe far less now than at any future time, People are 80 accustomed to submit to little inconveniences, that those persons who twere not acquainted with the more perfect system of house-numbering, which is in use in Philadel~ phis, 8t. Louis, and Washington, never fomnd any special fanlf with our ontrageous system—no system. The numbers on parallel streets novor corresponded. A person wishing to go to 600 Michigan avenue, jnever knew whero he should leave the State street car in order to reach his point most quickly. At night, the evil was in- tensified, and an individnal in search of 800 Mon- Toe street had to feel his way along, occasionally seeing & number on the glass above a door, but generzlly making & dozen blunders before reach- ing his destination. Under the present system, anumber gives noclue to tho distance to be traversed. No. 900 Lake street may be two or three miles from State street, who can tell ? Stato street is taken as the starting point for tho numbering of east and west' streets for two reasons. The lake could not be selected, since it curves to tho eastward, and mot being & straight line would cause & discrepancy in the Dumbers, Halsted street was proposed, but that could not well have been adopted, ince Stato street, esper_inlldy near Madison, 18 a sort of business centre, and the natural point from which distances should bersckoned.” A strang- er, starting out from s South Side hotel, would greatly prefer to be ensbled to. calcnlite dis- tances from streets just nearthem, like State or Madison, than from streets like Halsted, which they would - have to hunt up in order ' to make & start. 1f this stranger is in search of 2020 Madison, he Enows at once that - it is- twenty-nine squares and fraction from State street,and he slso knows that that number on Chicago avenue, Kinzio stroct, Park avenue, Mitchell street, or Egun avenue i eveflem twenty-nine blocks * from Biate street. gine an individual who + takes the Randolph street cars to go to 300 Park avenue. He knows it to be the first street south of Lake, but whers on Lake he is to get ont to reach his destination, neither he nor the con- ductor knows, noris he very certain at which end of the strest the numbering begins, It may commence in the middle and run both ways for “all he knows. ‘Where a strect does not reach State, like Fal- ton street or Warren avente, it is numbered pre- cisely as if it did. us the first number on Fulton street, which begins at Canal, will be §01, and on Warren avenue it will be sbout 2601, If it becomes necessary st present to go to 13 Spruce street, the first thing to be dono is to d 2 map, and hunt up the aforeseid street. Unler the new system the number would be 2613, snd_the searcher conld tell, at least with- out looking &t any map, that Bpruce street bo- gan at Ashland avenue, and he knows precisely where to leave the cars to get there, The confusion between *“East” and “West” will be mainly done away with. East Madison will be simply the little strip east of Stafe strect. The term “ West Madison” will not be used. Avenues begin their numbering as if they were east and west streets. Since Milwaukee avenus begins at Desplaines, its firat number will be the same as the first number on_Kinzie, west of Desplaines, thus indicsting how far wost of State streef its starting point is. It is not as easy to apply this methodin Chi- cago a8 in Washington, but, nevertheless, the moment it is underetood it will be generally Liked here. THE LAW COURTS. NOTES OF INTEREST. ‘Begisier Hibbard yesterday heard evidence on the claim of Frederick Milliman, in the matter of the Germania Tnsurance Company, in bankrupt- ¢y, when the following facts were attempted to be established : That petitioner borrowed £1,200 from Henry Greenebsum, giving & trust deed on his property for security ; that the Company ao- quired the note from Greenebsum, without the fact being communicated to the petitioner ; that the petitioner, when ready to pey, handed the money to Florsheim, the Sacretary of the Com- pany, in the belief that he was acting for Greenebaum ; that he afterwards found out his . mistake, when too late to place an insurance policy of his which he had in the Company, as an offset against the debt, which ha would have done bad he been aware of the fact. He now applies for an order on the Company to pey back the money paid, and to admit the pol- 1cy a8 & set-off against the debt.

Our sister Jcity Dubuque, turned loose in our streets yesterdsy s fino looking regimout of business men. They came to celebrato their new connection with Chicago, by way of Clinton and the Northwestern Railway. To Chicago as ‘well a5 to both Dubuque and Clinton, the open- ing of this road is an oventof great importance— connecting both the Iatter cities (when finished) with Lake Superior, St. Paul and the great Northwest, This connection is now complete, with the exception of s link of thirteen miles, ‘between La Creecent and Winona, and thet will be completed by the 4th of December, open- ing for Chicagoa new route to Minnesota and Northern Towa 2nd the upper Missouri region. Of course, our visitors were astonished, but new comers here always fall so fer behind our own citizens in astonishment at this seasou’s work that it leaves no words for strangers to ex- press themselves. The list of our visitors is worth publishing, 8 the roll-call conteins many names known to the trade of our city. The new road las been built by these men to reach Chicago and secure the sdventage of compet- ing route for freight. When J. K. Graves and his aseociates undertook the work thoy wero severely laughed st by the wise men with mo imagination, Tt could not bedone. Well, it is done, and Dubuquo is the gainer, and wilh two strings to her bow, and another promised, she i8 no longer at the mercy of any single line,, ailroad companies are human.

On the 4th of January following . tho hospital was finally opened- to -the public, 2nd‘‘on “the Sth . of that - month - {4 " first po- tients werp received, There weretwolve beds, moat. of which ‘were occupied. Tho Hospital was moved to No. 66 Vincennes avenue, on the 16t of May, The present eccommodations aro not as good ss in the other building, and admig. sion had been denied to_many “5"5“““' The Board of Managers bed begun #4dir wark with some .1wisgivings, bt their: success had been such'as o induce them to cherish the.hope of incressed prosperity and wusefulness in the foture, -+ . . o | Dr. Jackson, the surgeon in charge, that 33 patients kod been recaived, most of whom . remained_ thres...or' four. months. Beven recovered, twelve -+ improved, one was incurable, iwo' becamo convalescent, two woere ‘tramsferred to the dispensery, ond two were mot trested. Foriy-one applicants had been refused admission, mainly on account of inadequacy of room and of reported |. pecuniary means. The members of thé medical staft had decided that hereafterno patient would be ndmitted for treatment who Was not laboring under disease or accident specially incident to woman. A dispensary was opened on the 13th of January, 1872, and fifty-one persons had been treated. The resignations of Colonel O.G. Hammond aud R. B. Mason vwere received and sccepted, and Leonard Hodges and F. W. Peck wero elected to fill the vacancies in the Board of Manggers, Hon. Anson Miller then spoke briefly of the charities of the present age, saying those en- gaged in attending to_the infirm and incapable ‘were doing & noble work, and would receive their reward. Dr. Forrester said that, not to be engaged in such work was to be untrue to the genius and spirit of our coufiirfl, in which there was the E:rnndusb field and the bashu;iporlnnitiaa for en- ing manhood and womanhood. Tho Treasurer of the Board of Governors, J. Irving Pearce, reported that the amount received was §1,296.34 ; tho expenditures, $1,289.59; the balance, $7.41. Mrs. Rees, Treasurer of the Board of IMan- agers, reporfed that tho cash on haud on the 1st of Novembor was $238. A The Chairman said it was the intention to buy a lot and build o hospital, and he hoped some one wonld suggest a plan by which both or one could be secured. MMrs. Kimball said a house was needed at once, as the present building would have to be aban- doned gulore long. Plenty of houses could be Tad, but the dificulty was to get money to make the payments.
