very harsh punishment to impose upon a

Local Street Names.
Our System of Nomenclature Needs
Rational Revision.

Rational Revision.
Certain property owners in Nine
teenth Street, between Baltimore and
Cincinnati Streets, recently asked the
Commissioners TO change the name Of
that portion of Nineteenth Street to
ChffbouIne Place We are glad to
hear that the rulers of the city 3ave
answered tins petition III the negative
For their part, the Commissioners
say, they have no power, in the abb
sence of additional legislation by Con-
gress, to alter the streets present
name. This, of course, is an abso-
lutely conclusive answer.
But we are treasured TO know that
apart from any question of legal jur-
isdiction the Commissioners favor a
strict adherence to one fixed and gen
eral system of street nomenclature.
Under our system, as now in use and
as hereafter TO be extended, streets
running north and south are to be
designated exclusively by numbers.
As the portion of Nineteenth Street
sought to be named CIiffbourne Place
does run north and south, it is the
opinion of the engineer officers of the
District that the present designation
should q retained or that it should
be altered, al the utmost, to Nine
teentli Place.
Washirgton's street nomenclature
is far from inspiring. Many efforts
some rational, some fantastic have
been made TO amend and improve it.
Some day we may succeed in fasten-
ing on our east and west streets at
least names which couple euphony
with dignity and historic suggestive
ness. The existing order could be
preserved by choosing a sequence of
names distinguished in our history.
each name beginning with a different
letter OF the alphabet, and repeating
or modifying that sequence as the city
grew further and further northward.
But until the time is ripe for a rev.
olution in street nomenclature, il
would be well TO avoid haphazard
changes, such as that suggested by the
property owners III this isolated por-
ton of Nineteenth Street. Variations
once authorized will be difficult to
live down. And the more the unsatis-
factory character of the present sys-
tenn is emphasized, the sooner will Its
ultimate revision come
