Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 4th inst. has 
been brought by me to the attention of the 
councilmen and alderman representing this 
borough, and the necessity of changing names 
of streets in cases where the names have 
been duplicated and also in some other cases, 
was apparent to them, They said however, 
that as yet nothing had been done in regard 
to the matter, and suggested that it would 
undoubtedly, assist them greatly if you would 
send to me for their use any suggestions that 
your association might make with regard to 
changes to be made. 
One of the newspapers has taken an inter- 
est in the matter and is inclined I think, to 
endeavor to get from the citizens at large 
suggestions as to names and changes. 
I should be greatly obliged to you if you 
would send mea report of such suggestions 
as your association has to make, in order that 
I may communicate them to the proper au- 
thorities. 
The recently announced deeision of the 
post office department to establish the free 
delivery system for Port Richmond Staple- 
ton and Rosebank next spring, affords an 
additional reason for the preper naming of 
our streets. Very truly, 
GEORGE CROMWELL, 
President of the Borough.
