310 THE ISLAND OF NANTUCKET. 



town fathers, with an enterprise that was very com- 

 mendable, caused the name of every street to be 

 placed in a conspicuous position upon each street 

 corner. If the authorities desire the lasting gratitude 

 of visitors as w r ell as residents, they should continue 

 the work so well begun, by adding to the naming 

 of the streets the numbering of the dwellings and 

 stores. 



It is a very singular fact that there is no official nst 

 of the streets of the town. The list which follows was 

 kindly furnished the compiler by Mr. G. K. Long, 

 who painted the street signs, and is believed to be 

 correct enough for all practical purposes : — 



Ash, Ash Lane, Academy Avenue, Angola, Atlan- 

 tic Avenue, Allen's Court, Broad, Bloom, Beaver, 

 Back, Bear, Brock's Court, Candle, Chester, Chest- 

 nut, Cambridge, Copper, Charter, Coon, Cherry, Cof- 

 fin, Darling, Dover, Easton, East Chestnut, Eldridge, 

 Eagle Lane, Federal, Farmer, Fish Lane, Fayette, 

 Flora, Gay, Gardner, Green, Gardner's Court, Gor- 

 ham's Court, Hussey, Hiller's Lane, Howard, High, 

 Jefferson, Lily, Liberty, Lyons, Main, Milk, Mill, 

 Martin's Lane, Mulberry, New Lane, North Beach, 

 North Water, North Liberty, New Mill, New Dollar 

 Lane, New, Orange, Oak, Parker, Pearl, Pine, Pleas- 

 ant, Plumb Lane, Quince, Rose Lane, Ray's Court, 

 Spring, Salem, Salon, South Water, Sea, Step Lane, 

 South Square, Swain's Court, Saratoga, Summer, South
