ku <br />and still is because of the ridiculous kind of. numbering not only for emergencies but <br />-.for ordinary knowing where you are from one block to another. I'm fond of my house <br />number. I have lived with it for almost 20 years, but nevertheless, I'm finding it <br />harder and harder to direct people and get them to my house. I think that I see the <br />advantages of this in a different way because of the problems that are coming upon us. <br />REEVES: The alternative is that the billing system tells me that 707 East Franklin is <br />this certain location pr the Post Office and I�and the Fire Marshal. and the head of <br />- .Engineering in Chapel Hill meet out there at that one address and all agree that that is <br />-707. '1 am exaggerating a little, John, but how reliable do you want you system to be? <br />MARSHALL: I have to go the reception for the new Health Director on Thursday night. I <br />have to go to 707 Caswell for that. Now, as far as I'm concerned except for a <br />coincidence that has no relation in telling me at all where I have to go. But in the <br />system you are talking about, if that same coincidence came about, the way I understand <br />it, it would be infinitely easy for me to get from one to the other. <br />REEVES: That's right. You don't even have to start at the beginning of the road. Once <br />you see the first number where you are you will know where you are going to go. <br />WILLHOIT: Do you have to know where Caswell Road is? <br />REEVES: We in Briercliff think that our numbers are by block. Meaning one block is 600 <br />and the next is 700. That worked well until they began to add on. The Post Office did <br />not want to go over 950, but Caswell Road, I defy you to find which block you are in <br />because it switches from 600 to 700. <br />MARSHALL: You have the problem of the building that is going on across the street from <br />me. There are three new houses with three new addresses on the property where there was <br />one address. That is going to have to... <br />''WILLHOIT :­ Move the Manager's recommendation... <br />CAREY: Is there a recommendation on this? <br />MARSHALL:-' I think that probably -we have to get it on an early Agenda either with some <br />--recommendations of learning more about it or seeing if we have a majority vote to go <br />ahead with what we have already said... <br />CAREY:idedtg ahead <br />' HALKIOTIS. Let me just say one thing. I think that the majority has spoken on that <br />issue."' -I think the critically important thing ... what are we looking at when we are <br />- W.talking- Chapel Hill; -Hillsborough -peripheral areas, anything involved the <br />Post.- Office. That is the kind of thing that I am looking for. Are we all together on <br />this thine. Are we spinning our tires. I think that is what John is talking_. about. 4T-? <br />Mail :a n -- s . <br />s N <br />If we can generate some discussion a <br />MARSHALL: If we can, I think that is fine but I think the Post Office going ahead <br />within the year to make all these changes and its just like 100% day care funding. I <br />�� don..'.t..want to keep going on with this. <br />
