Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 August 1916 — Mayor and Councilmen Visit Monticello. [ARTICLE]

Mayor and Councilmen Visit Monticello.

Mayor Spitler and Councilmen Warner and Wood went to Monticello Thursday to investigate the street numbering in that city, which has been made necessary by the free delivery of mail, which starts there October 1. Little has been done at Monticello, board signs having been placed at the street corners, as required by the postal regulations, and the houses numbered witn opaque glass plates of various sizes. The cost for numbering Rensselaer will be considerable, but the expense except that of house numbers will be borne by the city. The town will also have to be replatted, as the postal regulations call for a number for each 25 feet.
