GREY STREET GOES .
NOW GREY AVENUE NOT “McILVENEY LANE” GREY STREET will henceforth be Grey Avenue. The City Council last evening further discussed the proposal to change the name of Grey Street, to avoid future odium, in connection with the bad reputation given to the street by the Commissioner of -Police. One correspondent wrote protesting against the proposal to change the name. The legal and by-laws committee of the council, which previously recommended that the name should be changed to Queen’s Avenue, were not quite so original in their second choice and recommended last evening that the name shouldy be changed tp Grey Avenue. Cr. Entrican: We thought of calling it “Mcllveney Lane.” After a few minutes’ discussion the new name was adopted.
