LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CURIOUS.
STREET NIJMBERING IN LEVIN Sir, — We have at last been allotted the long lpoked for street numbers, and strangers should in future be able to find their way around the town with ease — but will they? The numbers have apparently been allotted under the assumption that the whole- of the town is to be built over under slqm conditions. We have the example pf adjpining houses in many instances separated by numbers which would provide for two additional dwellings between them, and "these houses are separated by only normal garden accommodation. .. There is orie classic example jrf Oxford Street. A corner house is number ed 511. A street intervenes and the house on the next corner of this street is 523. Where can houseg 513, 515, 517, 519 and 521 be placed between these two existing dweilings. Strangers will surely be mystified by the systpm that has beem observed. Is there any explanation? Yours etc.,
Leyin, Oct. 12. •
