speolal to the EVENING NEWS.


Tottenville, Dec. 29-The elimina-
ton of the many duplicate streel
names in the borough of Richmond
has at last been accomplished and
the final action was taken at meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen at It's
meetings last week. Plans for chang
ing such names as were duplicated IN
every section of Staten Island nave
. cen advocated for nearly quarter
of century, but 1t was not until five
years ago that the work was definitely
undertaken. Opposition was encoun-
tered when some changes were pro-
posed during the administration of
Borough President Cromwell and the
plan was not pushed vigorously.
Later under Borough President Nc
Cormack hearings were given every
citizen interested and some of the
most serious objections were over
come and the final report was pre-
sented to the board Of aldermen IN
April of this year. The report had
been in the hands of the aldermen
committee since that time. the
