Later there was an office in the Town Hail. 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. Yours truly, R. C.
