Councilllpprove Reports Submitted by SpecialCommittee on Operational Road system Part of county road from ton Gore had ever been officially so method it was just one of those names that had attached Self over the years The whole thing seemed quite straightforward if it had never actually been named Codrington Gore there would be little difficul ty in changing it to Highland Park However this wasnot the way the thing struck Reeve Heber Smith who came up with the comment It doesnt matter what you call it it will still he know as Codrington Gore Then very pertinent point was raised by Deputy Reeve Greer Is there any point in nam ing it at all Change of Street Name The idea of naming it Highland Gore arose out of move which was initiated some time ago by residents on Pellew Street which also runs alongside the gore They were not very happy with the name Fellow and they felt they would prefer their street to be called Highland Avenue But said Reeve Smith on Mon day night It seems shame to do this All these streets were originally set out and named on completely new set of standards to which roads must con form before being assumed by Slmcoe County Council has been set out in two reports which were approved by council at their sitting yesterday morning while althird report recom mending that approximately 86 miles be deleted from the Thornton easterly Highway 400 in Innisl
