City Starts House Number Certificates Across Franklin Street
The first batch of city surveyor certificates with new house numbers has been issued, centered on Franklin street. Fifty certificates were in the initial book and the distributor will resume after the next batch arrives. The ordinance envisions many changes as the city expands, with Main street and Jackson as boundary lines, block numbers adjusted in developed areas, and lots assigned two or three numbers depending on size. Property owners must display numbers within thirty days or engineers will do so in ten days, with numerals at least three inches high and visible. White backgrounds require dark numerals and the engineer’s judgment governs disputes. Each numeral starts at ten cents, and residents will be notified gradually over the next month.
