WEDNT5SDAT, MAT 24, 1922 ITCTKN8 fOINT GAZETTE PLAN TO NAMES CHANGE )F MANY LOCAL STREETS Chamber Will Ask Council To Consider 'System It Has Endorsed The Chamber of Commerce board of directors has approved a plan which provides for re-naming the majority of Stevens Point streets and will submit the plan to the common council for consideration in the near future. The change is aimed to do away with duplication such as exists in street names like Center avenne, Center street and Central avenue, George and Georgia streets, and to establish a uniform system of names which will make it much easier for one not thoroughly familiar with the city to flrtd places to which ihey have been directed. Ho Change Below Patch Under the plan names of streets south of Patch btreet in the Sixth ward will not be changed, but in all other sections of the city new names have been decided upon. East and west streets are to be known as avenues and north and south thoroughfares as streets, to be designated east or west depending upon their location by using Division street as the dividing line. Other streets varying in direction are to be given titles appropriate to the general plan.

The Proposed Plan A map of the city which shows the proposed changes may be seen at the Chamber of Commerce offices. Patch street is to be called Railway avenue, if the city-wide plan is adopted, while all streets south of Patch will retain their present names. Monroe and Wayne streets would be consolidated in name and would be known as First avenue, forming the first east and west thoroughfare to be re-named. Madison street would become Second avenue and each east and west street next in order would bear consecutive numbers until Walker street in the Fourth ward is reached, which would be known as 23rd avenue. Change Main to Grant Under this plan Clark- street would become llth avenue and Main street 12th.

avenue. The name for Main street would probably be other than 12th avenue, however, this to be decided at U'e 1923 home-coining, according to the proposal of the Chamber. It is be'ieved that Admiral A. W. Grant will come to Stevens Point for the home-coming and in this event it is hoped that Mam street can be named in lus honor, to be known as Grant avenue.

la considering new names for north and south streets, the Chamber decided that Division street should form the natural dividing line between east and west. Center avenue, the first thoroughfare running north and south to the east of Division street, would be known as First street east East avenue would be Second street east. George street, to the west of Division, would become First wcreet west. Forest the Feurth ward, would the 13th street west. Other Proposals In the central part of the city Spruce street would be called First street south, Pine street sefcbnd street south, with Cypress being street south.

Chnrch street would become Fourth street south and Strongs avenue Fifth street south. These are streets which run neither north and south or east and west, but from southeast to northwest. Another group of streets with still a slightly different direction would be given another grouping of names. Cemetery street near the Sdb depot would be known as Avenue Park street as Avenue etc. Mill street would become Avenue F.

Superior and St. Louis avenue on the west side are to be called Riverside drive, if the plans are adopted. Central avenue, an extension of Clark street, would be known as a part of llth avenue. A few short streets east of Division, which run east and west, would be consolidated in name. Lincoln avenue.

Kingston and Algoma streets, would be known as Eighth avenue. DirblM to XcGlaefelia While Main street would bear the name of Admiral Grant, the Chamber Board proposes to honor etill another distinguished Stevens Pointer. General E. F. McGlachlin.

It is proposed to have the name of Division street changed to McGlachlin street Other Aivaatapes The Chamber board points out that other advantages will result aside from doing away with confusion caused by the present The new titles would make it easy to prepare for toning the cUv and eventually building restrictions, fire limits and other necessary limitations could be more easily established, it is claimed. 9LTHCICLIM) IS FINED IN MtNicirAL eonrr Grorso S-iUicrland was a fiiw of and cv-1s of $3.70 in mnn- irlpal court licfore JndRo W.
