Statistics of the wave of enthusiasm
In towns and cities throughout the
Dnlted States looking toward the revi
sion of house numbering systems fur
nish Interesting points of comparison
.with the plan recently put Into effect
In Chicago. The American Society of
Municipal Improvements, which Is or
ganized ns a sort of clearing house for
ideas on municipal government, baa
made an investigation of what is being
floue In different parts of the United
E Replies were received from 136 cities
to the following questions:
"Who assigns street numbers to or
otherwise has charge of the number
ing of the buildings in your city?
"What form of application must be
made and what charge paid by prop
erty owners to learn their respective
house numbers?
"Does city furnish the figures to be
used? At what cost?
"Does it place them? Is the size and
style of figures specified in any way?
"Is there any standard for assigning
numbers, such, as distance from as
signed axes or length of frontage to
each number?"
The replies show that in the great
majority of cases the city engineer or
the department of engineering has
charge of this work, this beiris. the
case Iu 104 cases out of the totsil !.'$.
The building inspector has .charge of .
it iu eitfbt ruses. In live cases it Is lo
charge of the board of public affairs,
of public works or of commissioners,
as they are variously entitled. In four
cases the city clerk looks after this
work. In three cases the assessor, in
two cases the superintendent of streets,
and a special committee, the inspector
of the highway division, the board of
aldermen, the mayor and council, the

In Rochester If owners do not place

In a number of cities there appears
to be no particular form of procedure
by which the householder obtains in
formation as to the legal number of
his house nor by which the city com
pels the proper numbering of houses.
In others, however, forms more or less
elaborate are employed.
The style of figure to be used is spec
ified In forty-Ave cities. In the major
ity of cases It Is stated that the figure
must be at least ss large as designated
minimum, which varies from two to
three Inches. In a number of cities the
