Council Honors Knoxville Pioneer by Street Change
Representative Helen Grimes yesterday appeared before Council and suggested changing the name of Charles street, Knoxville borough, after annexation is accomplished next month, to "Grimes" street in honor of her father, the late William F. Grimes, pioneer resident of Knoxville. A change in name is imperative as there is a Charles street on the North Side and the Postoffice Department, with the co-operation of the city, seek to eliminate duplications. Council affirmed the change.
It was said that a number of thoroughfares in the boroughs of Carrick, Knoxville and Westwood, to be annexed to Pittsburgh in January, have names duplicating those in the city and a list is being prepared to correct the situation.
