JOHNSTONE DIRECTORY.
The names of the streets of Johnstone, and the numbers of the houses
in each, were formerly distinctly marked; but at present, these are in
n great measure obliterated, which is not to be ivondered at, the origi-
nal markings having been made so long ago as the year 1828. This
was done at the suggestion and \inder the superintendence of the pre-
sent compiler, as were also those of Follockshaivs, Port- Glasgow:;
Greenock, Gourock, diadi Largs; and even those of Paisley on its
present improved plan. There can be little doubt that the spirited in-
habitants of Johnstone will see the propriety, not to say the necessity,
of having this defect speedily supplied— 2in arrangement so very use-
ful, not only in guiding strangers to the different parts of the town,
but also for enabling traders and corrrespondents to direct letters and
parcels to their proper destinations. Indeed it would be well if every
town and village in the kingdom had similar arrangements.
