The question OF duplicate street names has
recently come to the front in Brooklyn. and
committee Of the Board OF Aldermen has under
taken to straighten out the complications that
have been found to exist. Judging by the action
taken at its first meeting. the committee has
gone to work In the wrong way, and Is bound to
make things worse than they are. No one will
dispute that two or more streets with identical
names ought not to exist In any city. but
taInly the slpient members OF this committee
have gone too far in laying down the hard-and-
fast rule that no name shall be used more than
orce as part Of a street designation. Such rule
would erase from the MAP some Of the beet
known street names In the city AS single ex-
ample there are ClInton-st. and Clinton-ave,
each thoroughfare OF the first Importance ana
each OF long standing. No possible confusion
suits from this repetition save. perhaps. In the
case OF casual stranger. and 1t would be
absurdity to change either one Of them. The
Of street" avenue" place other term fol-
lowing any particular name is not a good thing.
but when such names are established they should
not be disturbed. The Aldermen will do enough
II they get rid Of all actual applications. and
they are rot called on to do more.
