Show TO CHANGE NAME OF AVENUE A short time aso Chief A. B. Can-field Can-field reported to the cJty council that there were two streets in the city, known as Park avenue, and that It was causing untold trouble to tho department. de-partment. An alarm would come from "Park avenue," and in many instances instan-ces the run world be made to the Park avenue on Twentieth street, only to learn that the fire was on Park avenue on Twenty-eighth, west of the railroad tracks, and vice versa. The chief suggested that one or the other . of the Park avenues bo given another name. The matter was referred to the committee on streets and the engineering engi-neering department. The subject has bec-n thoroughly gone over by the committee appoint- ' 'cd and a conclusion has ben reach- ' ed. -The committee will send a communication com-munication to tho council next Monday Mon-day night asking that body to accept the recommendations that the communication commu-nication will contain. It has been decided, says Chairman Barker of the street committee, to . change the name of Park avenue between be-tween Nineteenth and Twentieth 'streets and between Grant and Lincoln Lin-coln avenues, to Childs aenue. it virtually vir-tually being a continuation of Childs avenue extending from Thlrtv-thlrd j street, parallel to Grant and Lincoln I avenues across the city north. So , that after the proper christening ly i the city fathers there will be no Park ! avenuo in the north part of the city. |
