E. o. Kilbourne said he believed the change was desirable. J. E. Alice said he felt a double name was not advisable. The change from Carl ton street to Carlton avenue, Mir. Kilbourne did not believe, was suffi- cently beneficial to make the change.
 The change from Euclid avenue to make it a continuation of Strat- ford road was opposed by George E. Atwater who said three houses now stand on the street and are listed as Euclid avenue streets. therefore he did not believe the change should be made at this time

Radil, Middle town. O'Connor, Morgan. Miles and Sloan. Letters advocating the change were signed by Messrs. Chamberlain. Pelton, Searle and Jones. Mir. Wheeler appeared as in favor.
 A petition signed by o5 property owners on Highland terrace oppos- ed 9 change 10 Judson street. and the petitioners asked that, in the event that change is thought nec- nssary. the new name be Normal terrace.
 E. o. Kibourne appeared for residents on Park drive who wish to retain the present name. A change to Nutmeg street was op- posed strenuously, the protesting property owners asking that some other name be selected If there is to be change. Friendship street was offered as a suggestion.
 The movement to have Corbin avenue, Jerome street and Hunter road listed as one street, since they are a continuation of the same high way was opposed by Richard Corri- dan who asked that Jerome street be allowed to stand as at present. Paul Zehler asked that Corbin ave- nue be allowed to stand. J. B. AL lee recommended that the street be named Berlin road
