i | a ace ee Member of the Untied Prone. cog daily by The Siar Rename the Streets What do the people of Seattle think about this question of changing the names of the streets so as to have a simple, uniform system? It’s up to the people—they are the ones to gain by it— or lose, whichever the result will be that the Seattle ect na \ ' now in hopeless con Postmaster Russell, for instance, who has recently called at tention vigorously to the ndition But what do the people think? This question is brought forcibly to mind by a letter which reached the editor's desk this morning, signed “A Former Cleveland, Ohio, Man.” Read his letter. It shows what was done in a big Eastern city, and what its effect will be. Let's get together on the question. Then let's have more letters. Her ¢ Clevelar te “The n abou ng the streets hits me hard] for two reasons: First, because I have been here to realize the hopel because I have seen h names were chan land, where I used to “They didn’t want to ¢ in Cl land. It's an old, Those names were na f people the city honor here were associations about them. But the system was bad finally, in s pposition, the city council, the Chamber of Commerce and some public irited organizations got to gether and appointed a con tee of 100, The « ittee went over many plans, and finally selected one, which was adopted, “It was simplicity itself “Dividing streets were picked out north and south through the city, and also east and west. This cut the city into four parts. “All the north and south streets were called streets and given numbers, as West 25th st. and East Ninth st. All cast and west streets were called avenues, and the old names stood, as Euclid av., Lorain av. “The numbering of str from hearing a number just how far it was from the two cen tral dividing streets. For example, 2204 East 55th st. and 2204 East First st. and 2204 East 105th st tween Cedar and Carnegie avs. The mames were familiar to all. People soon got accustomed to locating houses by the number “In the same way, 4506 Euclid av, would be on Euclid, between 45th and 46th sts. “The change of names had to be forced down the throats of many, success. “After hearing an address, anyone who understands the system can tell within a block just where the place is located Cleveland, from being one of the hardest cities to find your way in, is now one of the easiest in the United States.” This is the ex-Cleveland man's letter. Let's think it over How Isaiah Muckraked Dr. Chas.
