Streets i Continued Prom Page B-l.) new numbers for his house, even though the cost will be comparatively trivial. Foresee Confusion. Residents who have lived for years on a street with one name, such as Bunker Hill road, foresee possible confusion (in their own minds as well as the minds of others) if the name is completley changed to something else, such as Randolph street. In theory, perhaps, most county residents will concede that Washington has a good, simple system of street names. But faced with the propect of having their house numbers and street names changed to conform, some would prefer to retain the residence designations they have had so long.

Some even contend that the new system does not actually conform to the Washington plan. They say that some of the streets named for extensions of Washington streets are not in line with the extensions. They claim, too, that it is illogical to call the north-and-south streets avenues, when such designations are not used for that purpose in Washington. An apparently groundless fear that the street renaming, house renumbering project may be a forerunner of a new project is frequently voiced. There is a strong sentiment in the county against the proposal, under i Viia FCH.

i I'M which the various towns in the Metropolitan Area would be merged into one municipality, and since the proposal called for a new system of street names and house numbers, the present plan has suggested the project in the minds of many residents. Meetings Produce Comment. In addition to the telephone and mail queries and objections, other objections have been voiced at public meetings now being held in the county under the sponsorship of various towns to discuss the new plan. A large amount of favorable comment also Is produced at such meetings. At one of them in Mount Rainier a man arose to tell the audience he had lived at the same address for 30 years.

"Now they are going to change the name of my street, the number of my house and the telephone company is changing the he said. wondering if it is not about time that I changed my Some persons object to their particular new street names simply on the grounds of personal distaste for a particular designation. As an example, the park commission says the residents of Railroad avenue, Hyattsville, say that name is not "very attractive and pleasant They want it changed to Rhode Island avenue, claiming also that this would end the present and situation regarding mail and merchandise deliveries. Attach Significance to Names. Some individual objjectors also have admitted they want to keep the county completely independent of Washington.

Others object to loss of names they claim are old landmarks or have special significance. In that connection one organization objection came from the Colmar Manor American Legion Post, which claimed the streets in that town are a fitting memorial to American World War leaders and should not be changed for patriotic reasons. The Community Club of Hyattsville is circulating a petition seeking a referendum on the pro- i posed system. It Is asked that the referendum be held In Hyattsville In conjunction with the May 6 elections. Efforts also are being made to extend the referendum to all the residents of the Metropolitan Area.

Some merchants object because they believe the plan will make it easier for Washington competitors to deliver in Prince Georges. At present county businessmen, familiar with duplications and unsystematized street names, have the advantage in expediting deliveries. The new plan will require alteration of new registration and permits of all motorists affected by the plan. Mr. Watkins said that the commissioner of motor vehicles has promised to co-operate in expediting this matter without too great an inconvenience to the public.
