WANGANUI DOCTORS SEEK BETTER SYSTEM OF HOUSE NUMBERING
Wanganui doctors have experienced difficulty, particularly at. night, in locating homes where emergenew cases have arisen, and in a letter to the Wanganui City Council recently the Wanganui branch of the British* Medical Association requested an improved system of numbering houses. This was stated at the council’s monthly meeting last night, when the Works Committee reported having given consideration to the request. It ' was suggested by the B.M.A. that the .(council might consider adopting a system of signposting similar to that in ( other centres, whereby signs at intersections not only showed the name of the street but also the house numbers lin the block. z "The committee would recommend Z that the B.M.A. be advised that the [ council will bo making a drive during •the coning year to give effect to the 1 1request that numbers on houses and other buildings in the city be prominently displayed,” the report 1 1 st.?ted. ■ “It cannot, however a; this junciturc, submit a favourable recom--1 niendation in regard to the request 1 (for signposting of block numbers in ' view of the considerable cost involved.”
