cussion of late relative to the street corner signs and the numbers on the houses in this town. For many years past there have not been any signs on street corners to direct strangers.
 There has also been a discussion as to many of the streets having more than one name It is not an uncom- mon sight to see a stranger stop a resident of this town to inquire where ,'so and so" lives. He will be told in words similar to these: "Why he lives on New Britain road which is just around the corner" To make sure a second party where the same person lives. and he will be told something like this. That man lives on the Beach Swamp Road" Having heard the two different names the stranger will in all probability stop third per son to inquire and will learn to his that New Britain road and Beach Swamp road are one and the same road leading from New Britain into Kensington.
 A town meeting was held a few years ago at which time many of the streets were renamed or those which had none were given names. Many residents feel that another meeting should be held at which final deci- sion should be made.

It appears as though there is no one in the town desirous of the position inasmuch as there have been two resignations so far this year.
