named at least twenty or twenty-fivei
yeanago, while the Sf'Johu avenue,
Norwalk, has only been in existence it
fewyears. If any mistake was made it
is clearly the fault of the parties who
named the Norwalk street. Also. what
sense is there in tlriuking about calling
St. John avenue, East Norwalk. East
‘ Osborn avenue? Why not call Henry
street East Osborn avenue? And then,
while you have your hand in, call (‘ot-

ly, the Councillor the city of Norwalk
would not be so presumptuous as to
think of changing the. name of a street
outside of their jurisdiction, and if a
change must be made, and the msidents
up there cannot stand “Tryou” avenue.
