when The plan of the Commissioners
is understood, will surely be that the
authorities have acted wisely. OF
course, there will be opposition. The
name of the street on which man
builds his house soon acquires senti-
mental interest. But the District as
whole realized long ago the need for
a logical system of street names, and
will be quick to appreciate the ad-
vantage of changes made to that end.
The responsibility of the District
government just now is to go on. 1t
will not do to stop with Georgetown.
There will be enough confusion-for
two or three weeks-when the fur
Their changes are actually ordered, not
to heighten it with a long period of
discussion and delay. All that re-
mains to do of this work ought to
be completed before the publication
of the next city directory.
The general system adopted by the
Commissioners is admirably simple
and helpful.
Half streets and intermediate
streets running north and south, are
TO be called places and named after
the nearest low numbered street
"Holmead avenue" between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets, becomes
Thirteenth place" Similar inter-
mediate streets, running east and
west, are to be called places" each
name beginning with the letter of the
main street next on the south. A
street parallel to R street, therefore,
and between r and S streets, would
become Riggs or Randolph or Rey-
holds.
All the numbered streets and let
tered streets are to be continued to
the District boundaries. And beyond
the limits of the lettered streets, all
the streets running east and west are
to be given distinctly American
names, arranged alphabetically, the
first series having two syllables, the
second three syllables, and so on to
the end.
Ali this, to repeat, is simple, logical
and plain. The application of it prac-
tically will clear away a great deal
Of unnecessary confusion. But the
interim between this action as to the
streets of Georgetown and similar &C
ton as to the remainder of the Dis
trict is likely to increase the con-
fusion greatly. Surely, the Commits
sioners will take up the other sections
as expeditiously as the work viii
permit.
