portance as a business street, the Fair
Haven people could not have very well
insisted upon changing the name of

city. Central street was suggested by
some for the change, but that could
not be permitted as there is Central
avenue, Westville Under the circum-
stances, Lenox street is regarded quite
favorably as substitute.
