Dutchman" Must Leave City.
Councilman Homer H. Judd was
busy today soliciting signatures to a
petition in which it is asked that the
name of Pond street be changed to
North Main street Mr.. Judd pointed
out the fact that Pond street is an
extension of North Main street and
that business interests on the first
named thoroughfare would be better
served by the change in name. Mr..
Judd also pointed out that petition
/ would be circulated In the near fu-
ture for presentation to the council
at later date requesting that Terry
vile avenue, North street and Farm
ington avenue be given one name
instead OF three as at present. All
of these three streets extend in al
most straight line east and west.
Terryville avenue running west from
the North Main street corner, North
street running easterly from North,
Main street to Doolittle's Crossing
and Pennington avenue running
easterly from the crossing to the
I Pennington town line 1t is very
probable that the petition when pre-
scented will suggest merging all three
streets under the name Of Farming
ton avenue.
| 1t is known that when hearings
are held by tho city council on the
change of name of Pond street, there
will be considerable objection on the
part of some Of the older settlers of
that section. One resident pointed
out this morning that Pond street
had been known under that name for
over fifty years and believed that
there was no advantage to be gained
by the proposed change. The petit
ton of Mr.. Judd. however, already
bears the signature of several per-
sons and wordy war will no doubt
result before and definite action is
taken.
In the present years budget, an
appropriation is to be made for new
street sign posts and for this rea-
son an effort will be made to reach
some decision as soon as possible.
