ADOPT NEW PLAN
IN NAMING STREETS
Subcommittee Makes Foushce
Dividing Line, East and
West.
ADAMS TO BE FIRST, WEST
Idea is TO Simplify Method by
Using Numbers and Not
Names.

City Engineer Cutshaw's plan for
remaining streets crossing Main
and Broad, and designating Foushee
Street as the dividing line east and
west. was adopted by tho Subcom-
mittee on Streets at n meeting last
night Tho matter goes now to tho
general committee for rejection or APP
proval. although 1t IS said that there
will be favorable consideration by tho
members.
The scheme, MS Colonel Cutshaw cx-
planned, Is very simple, and it's
beauty lies in the fact that 1t will DO
less difficult hereafter for persons not
thoroughly familiar with the map OF
Richmond to find destinations. Fou-
shec being the line OF division its
name VIII not be changed but Adams,
which comes next. viii be known as
First Street. West. The others will
be named in numerical succession
and the present plan extends as fa-
as Crenshaw Avenue and Rosencath
Road. which Will so under the name
OF ,Thirty-fourth Street. East OF Fou-
shee. the word East will go with
the name OF each street, and Fifth.
for Instance will be Fifth East.
The same proposition Will apply 10
the eastern extremity of Main Street.
and out there Forty-fourth Will -four
ish.
This idea not only has its good
points," said Colonel Cutshaw, ..but
II VIII give strangers some concep-
tlon OF tho size of Richmond. When
they hear you mention that you live
on Tiirty-fourth Street, they VIII sit
up and take notice"
Won't Change F'oushce.
Subchairman Don Leavy suggested
the advisability OF giving Foushce a
moro distinguished name, but 1t was
agreed that 1t was famous enough now
and should stand.
The Engineering Department has
prepared with much care q blue print,
showing the plan in detail. Where one
thoronghfare runs into Main and
breaks on rather abruptly. starting
again on the opposite side, but Just u
few feet away, as happens in num-
erous cases, two names will be elimi-
mated and one number will take the
place of both. Moreover, when short
street extends to Main. with no extern
sion on the opposite side. 1t viii be
given the one-half, as Twenty third
tand One half. West, for Instance.
There was some discussion as to the
wisdom Of retaining or substituting
the word place instead OF square. II
this prevails, Bank Street and Capitol
Street Will be known as Capitol Place,
and the same rule will apply, as In Ca
thcdral Place, Jefferson Place, and so

NURSES Waiting ON
LADY MANAGERS
Walk-Out at Retreat Was Com
promised Until To-
Day.
MISS PATTERNS FRIEND TALKS
Says Stories Printed Heretofore
Fail to Give Both
Sides

According to Il statement made yes
terday by one or the nurses at the Re-
treat for the Sick. the board Of lady
managers will hold q meeting to-day
to act on the case of Miss Annie Pat
ten, whose forced retirement from the
institution led to a Walkout by ten or
twelve of her nurse friends. When
the nurses returned to work on Mon
day 1T was on the promise from the
managers. so the young women say.
that the case would be investigated
and that Miss Patten would be given
al, opportunity to return IL she still
felt SO Inclined. From the tone OF
those who left tho hospital, the most
cordial relations do not exist between
them and the superintendent of nurses,
although they freely admit that this
is due to the fact that the superintend-
cnt, being a very strong worker her
self, expects the same amount OF labor
from those under her, and for other
reasons.
Statement for the Nurses.
1T is only fair to u.s. said one of
these young women yesterday. ITO
state In the newspapers that while we
We're somewhat hurt at the hasty action
in tho case OF Miss Patten, and were
tempted to resent 1t by leaving we did
not quit without first knowing that the
patents We're not neglected. The night
nurses went on duty Sunday afternoon,
Immediately after the unpleasant Incl
dent. and by Monday morning the SUI
pcrlntendcnt had sufficient help to take
care of the sick. 1t was made to APP
pear that we had struck because Miss
Patten was dismissed, and that we re-
turned, even when she did not and
without making good our attempt to
rebuke what we regarded az severe
punishment. We did go back. of
course, but 1t was on the assurance that
the matter would be thoroughly inves-
tigated and that Miss Patten would
be rcinstated. A sense OF duty and a
feeling that humanity demanded 1T
prompted us to return. But 1t was not
a fall-down."
| Waiting on the Board.
| The young woman, who was evil
IDENTIFY prepared to speak for her
| friends. was asked what would hap

| nurses had asked.
| THE nurse who loves her work.
| she answered, does not make threats.
| OF course, tho institution could get
along without us In time, but there
is no use to cross a bridge until you
reach 1t. We have the promise that
the matter will be investigated, and
l am sure 1T will bear us out in the
statement that Miss Patten did not
desire to leave place where her SER
vices might be needed merely for a
! holiday"
