AETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Irregular Streets.

Editor Star: Allow me to offer as an amend
ment to "CitiZen'S" suggestion plan which
nave before advanced in your columns. 1t
seems to me to be the height of folly to spoil
an excellent system of naming the streets of a
city by combining with it an old and trouble
some one, Let all the new streets, such as Co
lumbla, COrcOran. Defrees, &c. when they run
parallel with lettered ones, take name, the
initial of which shall be that of the highest
lettered street next to it. For instance, De
frees street, coming as 1t does, between II and
L. should bear some name commencing with
an II. Streets like Columbia, running parallel
with numbered ones, should add hail. that
thOrOughfare being in that case 9l% street.
Myrtle street, being between L and X, should
have been called j, there beng no street of
that letter. In using arbitrary mes for streets
the alphabetical system can still be preserved
ny using but one name OF the same initial, and
following the alphabet in rotation.
