A compromise plan whereby streets of Pendleton will be renamed in Home districts while In others the old names possessing sentimental and historical value will be retained was adopted IhhI night at a Joint meeting of committee representing the city council, the X club and the Commercial Association . , The conclusions; reached last night probably will ho Incorporated In rec nmmeudutiotui for action by the city council. Under the plan agreed upon, the tast-and-West Btreel running thu short way will ha changed except In a few Instances, some of the present designation on either side of Main rtreet liclrur retained. Ksst of Main, five cross streets will remain unchanged and It Is prnhuhlo that the next street will bo known as Sixth, and the numerical scheme will bo applied out to the edge of the city. ' More names will bo retained on the cross streets 111 the west end of the city, and where changes are nude, the nomenclature will be alphabetical. The first letter of the mime will indl cate the distance of tho street from' Main which will enable strangers to become accustomed to the utreet sys tem readily, I'f One matter Unit was not definitely doclded on at last night's m'-cllng was whether Court street or the rlvei rhuuld ho used us the dividing line tart and west. Arguments In fuvor of each division were made, but no definite action was taken. Mayor Iliirtnian favoring use of the rl"r ""d Supt. II. E. Inlow, who with J. A. Mur. ray composed tho Cormercial A.ssucia twin committee, was Inclined to favor Court street. The attitude of tho X-eluli was made known by Col. J. H. Haley who de clared that tho objections to wholesale changing of the names was made purely from ' a sentimental , point of view, "Some of us were here when the town was laid out," he said, "and thu name ot tho streets mean a great deal to us."
