"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

It is so

The Corporation is not invested in superstition. So I would say anyone who wants to change their house number can apply.

It doesn't necessarily mean the request will be granted.

The police and particularly the fire department are invested in correct addresses. If a change in numbers will likely cause confusion in finding an address in an emergency, the request will not be granted.

I don't know what the application fee will be but it won't be returned if the request is refused. It will be to cover the cost of processing the application which will have to be done to determine whether or not it will be granted.

The Town will likely be in the media's radar for a while watching for other weird and wonderful windmills we tilt.

And you know, when you are looking for something ridiculous, you quite often find it, even when it's not there.

Prohibited clotheslines is an issue in point. They never were.

The United Press International wire service sent it out in the 'Odd News' category. So it will be interesting to see how many news outlets pick it up.

The Town Hall lurches from scandal and scorn to silly and pandering. I think I'd rather people be angry with me than laughing at me.
