was a policy that they no lon er wanted t h g o ave. carrier. They no longer want to tie addresses to carriers. They want to have addresses stay fixed so that they can shuffle carriers as the load requires. 17 In their mind, a� a route ties to a REEVES: The main thing is that there are definitely alternative things that you can do, but it is not much different from what these gentlemen were talking about in terms of that fire rate. That is, you could apply certain ratings for services, the same way as the ratings are for the fire district. You would give a different rating to a numbered, logically sequential system. Even if it was a very long country road and was laid out that way, th" you would to a block of East Rosemary or Franklin that isn't. MARSHALL: Would• you_see- :in:.the. future, as they were talking about, all the different items that go into the fire rating, that as GIS systems get more available, that to have this. kind_, o£.logical, sequential numbering would be one of the factors that would lead . to a' lower, rate. REEVES: I certainly think that that is true. When you get that, and once again, its the integrity of yourbase. That's what they evaluate such things as that on. When we go_ to that 911 system, that's going to be the telephone companies record. Its their billing. That's -the address they tell you that telephone is at. That is the billing. The locational value will give a tremendous power in locating whatever number and address to the system. HARTWELL: Wait a minutes, you mean if Steve calls in from the High School with an emergency thet ambulance is going to show up down at the Superintendent's office because _ that's where the bill goes. REEVES: -No. That is the type of modification you have to make. HARTWELL: That's just it. That is why I don't like these hard and fast statements about this is how the thing is going to work. Because basically we've got to have a �- system that is smart enough to -adapt to the reality of our lives. I don't like that we say here is the system, we ought to all stand real funny so we can work with that. We have- to have a system that is going to meet the way that it is that we live and they' crazy way that we number our houses. Even if we could put the fix on all the numbers in - Orange County, -- including all the numbers in Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough, I still - -say- that we.. are -going to run into-bad problems because Chapel Hill goes into Durham County. There is going to have to be some sort of consistency across that. ,,....Either-that or,,.-the. whole world is going to change and everybody is going to get lost when they,:cross;:.the county line. `REEVES: Well,sryouu.can do what -you ju st said.' a , if you want this- block out -here on the system, then - i goin o be d one qui e- a different __ ; way "than- .under—the"-.Positive. numbering system.

I also live in probably the most densely populated area on the road with the most traffic. I think that I'm seeing the advantages of this system a lot faster than other people are.
