No. Hartford Avenue.
A movement Is being started TO petition
the Council at Its next meeting to con-
slider the sdvisa billy OF change OF name
of that portion of the old Hartford pike
now designated as Hartford avenue, from
OlneyviIle square to the Killingly road,
at the terminus of the car route on tnat
highway, to Westminster street. This city
thoroughfare now terminates with num-
ber 1864, adjacent TO Olneyville square.
IL Is proposed to continue the number
ing from this point across the square
which would tnen be mum bered as on the
street. and up the avenue to the point
mentioned, which distance would make
the terminating number about $500. N
continued on the basis on which West
minister street is now numbered. j. 10
contended that il would be an improve
ment to the business men on the square
In locating their business houses, and
would remove the troublesome feature of
having a Hartford avenue and pike TO
puzzle those not familiar with their re-
lation to each other. The promoters of
the land report that all appear TO be
agreeable to the idea of giving Hartford
avenue the dignity of being called West
minister street, as well as the advantages
OF a continuous mberirg from Market
square to the killingly road in Johns
ton, three miles of well-kept highway,
the main approach to the heart of the
city from the western section OF the State.
