             STREET DIRECTORY.
                      HOUSI,' Nu MBERING.
     A  system  of numbering was adopted by the Common
Council, October 5th, 1887, at the request of the Post Office
officials, for the purpose of free mail delivery. In this system
all numbers are located by the use of rectangular co-ordinates,
on a basis of Io feet lineal measurement for each intcger number.
There being two sides to every street, only the odd numbers are
used on the left and even numbers on the right, thus making the
sipace for each number twx enty (20) feet, (normal) along the
;treet front. The general regularity with which so many of the
streets and avenues have been laid, ptermits the use of this system
admirably.   Also distances in feet along any of the streets run-
ning due north, or due west, may be easily calculated by observ-
ing the difference between any two numbers and multiplying by
(io) ten.  Figures have been placed around the outside limits of
the enclosed city map at intervals of 0ooo feet, to indicate the
numbering by hundreds. These will be found useful to locate
aproximately on the map any house number.
  [As a general rule, the Streets and AvCenueCs of Appleton have been laid
out with
regard to the principal cardinal points, and with rectangular uniformity.
Some
lre long, some are short, while a tew run diagonally or lmay be broken or
curved.
These latter, however, are generally along the River or nealr Ravines. Names
have
ecii gi en to nearly all the Street, and Avenues, but without iegulation
or form,
except in the Grand Chute Plat, s,mn of the Streets running east and wvest
are
named in order: Second, Third, Fourth, etc ,as h;igh as Eighth liThe following
is the general alphabetical list:
