The herald., 1897-02-21

consideration evinced in the changes
made, from the fact that over three
hundred and fifty changes appear while
barely a dozen protests have been filed.
Upon investigation wour committee
found:
First-The commission did not make
changes wantonly except in three or
four cases.
Second-The new names suggested
are to remove duplicates or to substi-
tute the same name throughout the en-
tire length of a street
Third--Of the new names chosen
more than two-thirds are Eng
lish and less than one-third are Spanish.
Fourth-The city would thus have
about 1850 English street names and
150 Spanish.
Having reference to the mayors mes
sage herein, we find two objections
urged against the ordinance; first, no
opportunity given protestants to be
heard, and second, difficulty in pro-
nouncing some names chosen. The first
objection has found it's satisfaction in
the joint hearing Of the commission and
committee, and will doubtless be still
further gratified in any additional hear
ing you may grant before your honor
able body at time of the presentation of
this report and accompanying ordinance.
There Is, however, much difficulty in
fully meeting the second objection, not
from any arbitrary desire of this joint
committee to retain names to tax the
new comers' ability in either pronoun-
citation or photography, but rather from
the unfortunate circumstance that those
individuals and events whose associa-
ton with the kindergarten period of this
regions history makes 1t desirable and
proper that their memory should be per-
petuated and revered by ALL were chris
OI1t of dale
at this period. To eliminate these
names Is to deny all gratitude to these
illustrious heroes and Incidents of the
past and to show a wanton lack OF ap-
probation of their valued contribution
to our present peaceful enjoyment OF
the fruits of their labors." -.
In the judgment of your committee, IT
were better a stranger in our MIDST
encounter an impeachment In pronun-
citation than that an entire community
commit the gross indignity of ignoring
the hardy heroes and worthy incidents
of pioneer days. a very brief period OF
association with the new names Will
render them as familiar as those we now
utter without a struggle, and which
seemed at first equally beyond mastery.
