' y PORT PERRY, ONT, - THURSDAY, Recommends - FEBRUARY 5, 1953 treet Numbers For Houses Port Perry Council, at the meeting, Monday night, will consider a suggestion that all homes in the vil- lage bé numbered, . : This plan, which has considerable merit, has been suggested by S. A. Ord, Mary Street, who also has penned a letter to the Star outlining the idea. Mr. Ord incidentally, has had consider- able experience in numbering of homes while with the Hydro and says thé plan has proved a popular move in some places, Some citizens, who have been ap- proached with the suggestion, favour consideration of the plan and one has recommended that council should or- ganize a program for numbering. This is not a new idea for Port Perry as Casimir Street was numbered a few years ago. In Stouffville or Uxbridge a service club is believed promoting the plan to number all homes. Mr. Ord's letter, which was forward- ed fo council, explains the plan very well: ! . Port Perry, Yet 2, 1963 To the Editor of the Port Perry Star: Numbering of Houses I would appreciate your kindness in allowing this enquiry to be published in your paper, It is probable that every householder over the years has had the difficulty |- of. locating his home to others, par- ticularly to those from outside the ------{ Village. The directions of so nmny bloeks--from--the--Lake, the cemetery, the church, ete. are still confusing and make locations difficult. ; Streets are named itis true, but due to the pase-practice of giving houses consecutive: numbers, it meant that every time. an new house was built on n vacant lot, the numbering on the street had to be changed. Villages, Towns and Cities-are now being numbered on the ten foot to the number basis, and which enables small villages to have this location benefit, without any change in numbering be- ing needed as a village develops to a City. : For: example a house numbered 312 Mary street would be in the third block---as the first number gives the block-- and one hundred and twenty feet from thé corner of the third block, zouth- side; -- rat The marhber pin point "the the front of the house within ten feet, and this information has been of great value in calls for fire, police, Hydro, mail, ete., aside from business and personal benefits. The house mbers.. are puiehased wholesale hy the municipality and sold to the householder plus a small over- head for handling. The owner simply uses a tape line or paces from the street corner. If four blocks from Queen street and two hundred and forty feet from the carner he would buy for fifty cents (approximately) the number 424. I hope my remarks are not out of order, as it would seem to me that this small expense now would he re- paid in the years aliead many times, due to the convenience it would give Sincerely, S. A. (Od.
