"We think that as Charlottetown is a city, it should follow the example of other cities throughout the world, in respect to numbering the doors or houses on every street. A stranger inquiring where Mr. Blank lives, has to be directed after this fashion: Go up the street till you come to a pump, thence proceed along till you come to a red gate, then go a little further until you arrive at a lamp post, then go on to the third door, and Mr. Blank lives there. Very plain directions of course, and no doubt the door can be found; but how much easier to say he lives at No. 32."
