A STREET ANNIVERSARY. NE hundred years ago to-day the Legislature passed the act providing for a commission “to lay out} streets and roads in the city of New York.” This commission, consisting of State Engineer De Witt, Gouverneur Morris and John Rutherfurd, spent four years devising and laying out the present sys- tem of numbered streets and avenues. As it turned out, the work could not have been done much worse At the time of their appointment New York w2s bounded on the north by what is now Houston street, but which was-then called: Novth street, be- ing regarded as, the extreme northern limit of the © city; just as Westfand South streets were the limits at those points of the "compass. Beyond Nor eet there were only the two main roads, Knigwn now as Broacway and the Bowery, the one going to Albany and ‘thetother to Boston.
