WOULD RE-NAME
CERTAIN STREETS
The Mayor’s committee on
street planning and re-naming
has offered the following
changes for consideration oi
City Council.
Main street would run from
Graves in West End to the
city limits on the east, necessi
tating a change in name of a
part of Davis street in West
End.
Continuance of Harrington
street to the city limits, cut
ting out McCaughrin avenue.
Burton street, Davis avenue
and Reese streets would become
Davis square.
The street by the county jafl
(now Harrington) will be re
named Blease street and will
run from Vincent to Calhoun,
eliminating the Martin street
which runs by the bus station.
Coates street would continue
to Snowden, eliminating Lind
say and Thompson.
Crenshaw street would run
from Main to Evans. Th^ new
street through the Mower de
velopment would take on this
name from Harrington to
Evans. (Evans runs by the
College men’s dormitory.)
Harper would continue to the
city limits eliminating Mayer
avenue.
Hunt street would continue
to Emory, from Harrington,
through Main to Johnstone,
Jones street would continue
eliminating Douglas.
Calhoun street from College
to Boundary, eliminating Pel
ham.
Graves street in West End
would continue to the city lim
its as such, eliminating Charles.
Gilder street in Cannon Town
would run from O’Neal to
Boundary.
Gildercrest in existing maps
would be changed to Jessica,
this appearing on the maps
through error.
The committee suggesting the
changes is made up of C. E. St.
Amand, J. E. Wiseman, W. B.
Halfacre, J. Dave Caldwell, E.
L. Blackwell, E. B. Purcell and
L. C. Graham.
