TALK FAY0RS KEEPING
 NAME OF ELLIS STREET
Second Ward Alderman Believes in Perpetuating Memory of Early
 Settlers in City

Those who favor continuing the name of Ellis on the highway ere ated by joining Monroe and Ellis streets, today received encourage ment from Alderman Walter R. Falk of the second ward who went on record to this effect.
 Because the change in highway name must be approved by the com mon council, Falk is expected to have considerable influence in con- tinuing the name of the pioneer FL lis family on a public highway in preference to the name of the for mer president.
 The question is now before the city plan commission. A hearing last week brought requests from three property owners that the entire stretch of highway 10 be known as Monroe street and a letter from Charles F. Smith, president Of the board of directors of Landers, Frary &s Clark who asked that the name be made Ellis.
 Much of the street runs through the ward represented by Alderman Falk in the common council. He has inquired into the history of the Ellis family and found, he said to- day that this family played an im- portant role in the development of the section through which the street passes. For this reason he favors continuance of the name.
