City Council Communicating With Dealers In Street Name Signs.

The city council has been communicating with several dealers in street name signs and numbers lately, and are planning to have the residence and business districts numbered as soon as possible in order that Rensselaer may have free mail delivery. A postoffice inspector was here some time ago, and stated at that time that as soon as the city complied with the free delivery order, of having the streets and house numbering done, Rensselaer could have free mail service. v . Many people have inquired lately why nothing has been done so far toward complying with the pastoffice regulations. There has been something done and it was done immediately after the visit of the postoffice official here. We were informed by a member of the city council today that the council has been busy communicating with several different street name sign firms and are getting samples in order to select what they think are the best signs, at the lowest possible cost and as soon as a decision is reached that the numering of the residence and business streets will commence.
