<br />
<br /> "At its regular monthly meeting on November 19, 1974, the Planning Commission discussed
<br />the topic of possible delay in delivery of essential public services stemming from street
<br />name confusion and shortcomings ~n our system of assigning numbers to dwellings and other
<br />structures. The Commission instructed its staff to pursue the matter with municipal
<br />operating departments and postal officials. The Commission anticipates forwarding some
<br />recommendations to you sometime in the early part of 1975.
<br />
<br /> In the interim, the Commission suggests that you consider a public relations program
<br />to encourage every citizen to inspect the number appearing on his dwelling or place of
<br />business. If each citizen would think of himself or herself as an ambulance driver and
<br />consider any problems encountered in reaching his or her address, we might develop many
<br />individual corrective actions which in the aggregate could amount to a municipal improve-
<br />ment program."
