! CHANGING THE NAMES OF STREETs-Seyeral annIi-
| cations having been recently made to the CITY Coun-
ell to change the names of streets, the City Coun-
sellors opinion has been obtained as to whether the
| power exists In the city government to make the
! alteration. In his answer, Mr.. Dulaney remarks
that ordinances which change the names of streets
are in direct conflict with the provision of the act
OF Assembly IN relation to the city plat In add
ton to this law, which renders all action void he
| gives the following very conclusive reason why
| changes should not be made:
"The names of streets, lanes and alleys, are al
most always referred to in the transfers and CON
vevances of lots and land binding upon them, and
also sometimes in ordinances and acts of Assembly
! The change OF their names, therefore, must ALWAYS
occasion inconvenience to such extent, i'll some
instances, as to be of serious import. 1t has also
tendency to obscure, embarrass and render ex-
pensve searches into the titles of property which
will be increased rather than diminished by the
| lapse of time.
