Announcement of a hearing on the plan of the city planning commission to change 155 street names in Carrick and Knoxville, failed to produce any objectors before council yesterday except two who interceded to have the name of Stewart avenue continued in the former borough. Rev. H. M. Meyer, pastor of the Stewart avenue Lutheran church, and J. H. Schroeder, a member of the congregation, said the proposed change would inconvenience the church as the charter and other details of its organization would have to be chaged [sic].
The name conflicts with Stewart street between Highland and Stanton avenues. The Carrick gentlemen stated they had immediately investigated matters and found the residents of Stewart street were favorable to a change of name, preferring Hampton street, which is slightly offset from Stewart at Highland avenue, which they both intersect. According to the representations made to council the Stewart street residents believe less confusion would follow if their street was an extension to Hampton.
MORE HOMES IN CARRICK.
Stewart avenue, Carrick, greatly outnumbers the East End street in the matter of residences facing on it. City Clerk Robert Clark was instructed to get into touch with the Stewart street residents and learn if they are willing to petition for a change of name.
Miss Helen Grimes was the only one to appear in connection with the proposed change of 18 street names in Knoxville. She had no objection to the list which she said pleased her on account of the change of Virginia to Grimes avenue, in honor of her father, a pioneer of the former borough.
