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 'with the ayatem and moat messenger . boy a who can tell on the Instant be tween what streets a number ins)- be - found on anv given street.

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.
