GENTLEMEN: l sumbt herewith an or
dinance changing the names of certain
streets. 1t has met with the approval of
the City Engineer and Chairman of the
Committee on Streets. The change made
has been rendered necessary by reason of
duplicate names or where a continuous line
of streets through more that one addition
had in some instances two, sometimes
three, different names. These have been
so changed as to give the street but one
name.
1t is important that it should be passed at
an early day as possible, as Mr.. Curtice is
about publishing a new map of the city,
and is only waiting TO have these names cor
rected. Respectfully, w. p. MURRAY,
Corporation Attorney.
