NAMES OF STREETS.

Several years ago it was suggested oy
the Gazette that the time had come 70
replace the names Of streets ON the
corners of all thoroughfares. In the
oIden times these small signs were the
guide posts OF strangers who visited
Alexandria. They are now as scarce
as sea serpents from the fact that most
corner buildings have been demolished
during the past half a century and new
structures occupy their sites. These
arc minus the ante bellum legends.
This matter was again brought to mind
this morning when a young man, a
stranger, with a bewildered look, stood
ON the northeast corner Of King and
Washington streets and requested a
passer-by to direct him to Washington
street. The Civic improvement League
has recently been engaged in the com
mendable work Of inspiring tidiness in
all people in the community, and to-
day an excursion is being given for the
purpose OF raising funds with which TO
improve conditions at the aims house.
This association may act on the above
hint and take steps toward acceleratlng
a movement which was started in Coun-
ell some time ago lookingt to the placing
OF the names OF th%oroughfares on the
corners thereof.
