Show THE NAMES OF THE STREETS there are re a i great many people whose pates are too i thick to distinguish any difference between east south third and south third east the foregoing appears in a mor ing paper in reference to the proposition to change the name of the streets in this city we do not know how thin a persons pate must be to distinguish the differ ei ce that seems seem to trouble our contemporary but seeing that there are no streets in iju the city bearing these names name it appears to us that neither thick pates nor thin pates neel be concerted couce on the subject there is ia neither an ah 11 emst ta S uth third 1 1 nor a sauth third east in the official street nomenclature of this city and we never heard of either of them before there Is an E third south and a W third south a third east and a third west but these are readily understandable by the thickest pate into which the idea of the simple key bey to all the streets has penetrated we sire are of the opinion that thai no plainer system ca be established than that in vogue to call the streets that run one way av enree and give each an arbitrary name while numbering the streets that cross them is to destroy half the system and make confusion to give an arbitrary name to every street is to abolish all system on what plan is a granger to know where grant avenue 12 or lincoln street Js is to be found with ut a map or a guide but given the temple block for a starting point any one with a pate containing an ord ordinary inary brain can readily determine where 50 E second south or W third south or first east or second west is the present system is a system anti and a simple one any other plan proposed is either the partial or complete destruction of system some people are never satisfied unless they are breaking up what other othe r people have established the vandals made a mes me s 9 of their malignant work and the salt lake goehs ootha seem to desi reto be more revolutionary and meddling than were their friends in the junction city we hope there will fie be rational and conservative men enough in the committee to investigate this matter to hold their own against rattle s that are eager for some kind of a change |
