The Board of Town Commissioners has ordered the change following a partition presented by the Rotary club. The movement for the change of street names was started six years ago by MRS KENNETH E. STEWART, of Baltimore, a descendant of an old Lewes family. Renaming the streets is part of a civic program to restore the town as has been done on Cape Cod and in parts of Virginia. Some names to be changed are Park Avenue to Ship Carpenter Street, and King Street to Kings Highway. The only street whose name will not be altered is Pilot Town Road. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
