Conclusion.
In conclusion we shall touch upon but two things, about which little has been said by others but which we think are of importance, and first, the one brought more particularly to our notice as connected with this work that of numbering the Streets.
Under the present settled state of change it is very plain that all plans of numbering the build- ings will very soon become defective from the building-up and tearing-down process continually going on, nor will it be likely to be better for some time to come. If then a plan could be adopted giving the location quite accurate, and still inde- pendent of the buildings. We think it worthy the consideration of the public. Now we enjoy the opinion that we have one of that nature, which, for all business operations, would answer every purpose. It is this: to have the streets, com- mencing at Bay street, on the north and Front st.,
16
130
on the east marked off by posts, or otherwise into spaces of fifteen or twenty feet, more or less, as would seem to be the most convenient. By having these spaces numbered, you have your streets marked off perfectly independent of any change which may occur in the building. This could be done by the city government wholly, or they could merely designate the number of feet to each space, and any one, by means of a map, could easily tell what their number should be, and put them up accordingly. The other subject is that of bell-ringing as it is now practiced for our churches. We have seen the whole congrega- tion of a religious meeting start from their seats at the ringing of the bells of other churches, sup- posing it was for fire; and how are our firemen to know whether the bells are ringing to call them, with, all their powers, to fight the devouring flames, or, with their most devotional feelings, to attend a prayer meeting. How widely different the objects, yet the same summons, put forth in the same manner, calls them to both. This is certainly, wrong, and we think our City Council should make it the duty of bell-ringers, in all cases of business or for Church, to set the bells at regular intervals, as they do in the Atlantic cities.
We will now return our thanks to all those who have kindly assisted us in this work, and our wishes that they, with others, will assist us in our future efforts, which we trust to be able to make more full in many respects.
