mating certain streets in Jersey Cl.y,

Ny reasons for taking this action nooa aTs
i are in many instances open to serious Oh

matter of this kind should receive a ntlle
more consideration and the people stysn
a better chance OF beng nearI pedois Is
4 such an ordinance is passed. There Is
\ Something in a name, and certainly the
\ names Of old and well known streees
should not be changed l nave f asSo nr9-
\ tests from citizens, and | think the ooJec-
lions presented are well founded.
