WHOLE COUNCIL TO GO TO OTTAWA

To Urge Deepening of Welland Canal

Houses to be Numbered at Once

Hundred Block System

[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1910]

At a special meeting of Welland town council last night it was decided to send the whole council to Ottawa next week in company with the big Ontario delegation to urge the deepening of the Welland canal, the town to hear the expense. If any member cannot go he may provide a substitute in his place.

HOUSE NUMBERING

It was also decided to proceed at once with house numbering as well as street naming, making it a complete job at once. The houses are to be numbered on the hundred block system, the most up-to-date method. Many cities are throwing out old systems to adopt this.
