Tho lists forwarded are said to contain 438 names. A counter-petition was received from other residents of 'the Kilbirnie and adjoining districts, said to contain 1133 names of those persons who oppose the proposed change ■of name to Crawford Park." These 1133 petitioners desire the designation of Kilbirnie's playground altered 'to Kilbirnie "Park" instead of "Reserve." The committee", after carefully considering the question, have to recommend tho council to alter the name of the Kilbirnie Reserve te the Kilbirnie Recreation Ground. Councillor J.
