JOINT COMMITTEE ADOPT
PLAN FOR REMAINING
FEW OF CITY STREETS
East and West Streets Will Re-
tain Their Present Names;
They VIII Become Avenues.

A compromise plan whereby streets
Of Pendleton will be renamed In som,
districts while In others the old names
possessing sentimental and historical
value will he retained was adopted last
night at n joint meeting Of committees
representing the city council. the X
club and the Commercial Association
The conclusions reached last night
probably will be Incorporated In rec.
concentrations for action by the city
council.
Under the plan agreed upon, tho
east -and-west streets running thc
short way will be changed except IL
n few instances, some OF the present
designations on either side of Main
street being retained.
Fast Of Main, five cross streets will
remain unchanged and II Is probable
that the next street will be known as
Sixth, and the numerical scheme will
be applied out to the edge Of the city.
More names will be retained on tho
cross streets in the west end of the
city. and where changes are made tho
nomenclature will be alphabetical
Tho first letter of the name will indi-
cate the distance Of the street from
Main which will enable strangers tt
become accustomed to tho street sys.

Supt. II. f. Inflow. who with J. A, MUIR

The attitude of tho x-club was made
