"May be called Verona boulevard: Property owners want name Paisley avenue changed: Ordinance will be offered at next meeting of councils—South African names incorporated in the street nomenclature of Pittsburg." Pittsburg Press, Apr. 20, 1900, p. 9. Newspapers.com 141320270.
The city clerks yesterday finished the work of naming new streets and of revising the street names for the directory of the city. A number of new plans of lots have been approved by councils and in many of these plans the streets have not been named. The duty of finding suitable names devolved on the city clerks and they succeeded in getting about twenty-five new names. The Boer war has been commemorated by such names as Spionkop, Pretoria and others, while Nordica, Zaza and Sapho are also found on the list.
The petition of the residents of Paisley avenue asking for a change of the name of that thoroughfare will in all probability be granted and the ordinance will be presented to councils at the next meeting. The street is a new one and when completed will form a part of Beechwood boulevard system. It is understood that the property owners are anxious to have the name changed to Verona boulevard and this is the name which will probably be adopted.
