Method of Numbering: Houses in Portland Now in Vogue
' ' Considered .Best Possible Way No Trouble to Uii
i ' deretand if Moment's Th ought Is Given Subject.
f ' "I believe the method of , numbering
' houses now In vogue In Portland ia
one of the best." said, Frederick V. Hoi
'man, "and It Ja only Ignorance of meth
eds that confuses aome people. The
: 'method ia much better than that em
ployed 1n San Francisco and when once
understood Is much simpler than the
'method of numbering the blocka In hun-
dreda."
; Mr. Holman tells how the method
that waa adopted by early city father
ia a good one, but one that ' very few
'have taken the trouble to investigate.
..He aaya that all cabmen are familiar

Intersection JTnmbara.
'"' Th au.nbera at each Intersection are
Che aame throughout the city as a rule
and the numbering has been carried out
.on that plan. For instance, JSt Alder
street occurs at the north weat corner of
. Aider and Third streets and the aame
f number Is found on ine northwest cor
ner of every intersection Third street
makes with another street, as 165 Tay
lor street la on the north weat corner of
Third. 2S5 Washington street Is on the
northwest corner of Third. The odd
numrx rs always occur on the north and
west hides of the street
V Around the corner from 255 Alder
Street Is 135 Third street and every
Street from Front out to Chapman la
. numbered 135 at that same point, on
the northwest corner. The number 126
Fifth atreet la at the northwest corner
of the Intersection with Alder and so on'
icuuugu me - city.. ?. ..
. Convenimoe of System.
Mr. Hoi man says : that this Is i.ie
greatest convenience of the Portland
system, although It la not the only one.
The blocks are numbered In twenties In
stead of iffi hundreds as they are In
some other' cities., There is a number
for every 0 feet' on iuh aide of tha
street for blocks JOS feret Ion, making

"Now. this mum ! varv almnla and

Mr. Hoi man also aava that exeat con
fusion would follow anv attempt to

the Dostof flee denartment would not be
able to atralghten out tbe tangles that
would occur. BeHldes. a great many
business houses and private persona use
