Local Streets And Numbers Easy to Locale Simple system adopted proves capable of wide expansion A , Kennewick’s, system of street naming and numbering makesjt an easy matter for. strangers to find their way about, it they un dlelizggltliyitiairhen the town was 0' ' ' out,* ts were named for local' £33, fancy, places, flowers, etc , without re gard for any sort of unity. Later, when the town assumed the proportidns of a small city and mail delivery became‘possible, it was necessary to rename many of the streets and to formulate some sort of a system for numbering the houses. The following plan was .adopted: With Kennewick Avenue as the division line, all avenues in the municipality run east and west, with an alphabetical listing on the north side of Kennewick—Avenue A, B. C, etc.. and south of the dividing line, the avenues are numbered from First to Tenth: at the city limits. The avenues are just plain ave nues west of‘ Washington street, the dividing line. East of Wash ington street, the word East is add ed to the avenue: First Avenue East, Second East, etc. When and if the town ever expands past the west city limits, the plan is to have a First Avenue West, from that point out, etc. , The streets follow a similar plan. With Washington street as the div ision, the streets running north and south are alphabetically for towns in the state of Wash ington: Auburn, Benton, Cascade, Dayton, Everett, Fruitland, etc. East of Washington street they are also alphabetically named, but af-f ter trees: Alder, Beech, Cedar, etc. Thus it is an easy matter to find any street by merely counting. from Washington street or Ken newick Avenue. House numbering, too, is just as easy to figure out. Beginning one block from Washington or Ken newick Avenue (the dividing lines) the numbers start at 100. In the second blockat 200, and so on. So with the number of the house and the street, it is very easy to find the way around Kennewick. McDonald to Fix New Front on Store The front end of the E. S.

Ask Householders to Apply Now for Fuel Oil Hmeholdeu ox Kennewick were urged today by Ms. Bidley. chairman of the local OPA War Price and Rationing Board. to re turn their next season’s fuel oil renewal forms as promptly as possible. ' The forms were mailed out this week by the board to all fuel oil users in this area, Mr. Ridley said. “The sooner these forms are filled out and returned, by mail, to the board," he added, “the soon er we can begin processing them and issuing oil ration coupons. We would like to have the forms returned within seven days.” “The earlier these coupons are issued. the better,” Mr. Ridley said, “because it is necessary for consumers to order part of their next season's supply of heating oil immediately. When dealers make their first deliveries during the summer, they are able to give consumers better delivery srvioe throughout the heating year be cause it will help them solve their pressing manpower and delivery problems. More important, fill ing consumers’ tanks early will add appreciably to dealers’ storage capacity and thereby allow more oil to be brought in now for use next winter.”' “We in thleeclioctzlibgarill I:vould certainly' app a ti a ouse holders here in Kennewick would make a special effort to return the form within seven days from now," Mr. Ridley said. “It would help us, it would help the fuel oil distributors here and it would also benefit all fuel all users."
