Names of streets never seemed
necessary the I remember I lived
On Mary Street (where I was
born) and later at Isaac and
Joseph. Everyone knew where
everyone else lived and in a town
of approximately 2,400 (when I
left in 1901) street naming and
house numbering Was unknown
and only required for the infre-
quent transfer of property; insur-
ance and the like, I do remember
than one time seine person, in re-
turn for providing and putting up
street names, was permitted to
canvass the residents to sell them
house numbers. The house num-
bering was a very crude perfor-
mance end was determined by a
certain sized and numbered wheel
on a wheel, barrow. The street
names on tin were nailed to any
convenient poet, fence or house,
My sole recollection of the use
of a street name was to disting-
uish between identities stel' as
churches — the' Ontario Street
Methodist and the Rattenbury
Street Methodist. I am looking
forward with interest to receiving
the map •so that I may acquaint
myself with the street names and
lay-out of the town of my birth.
