prominent downtown tor onto location the attractivelydesigned sign is a del rex promotion and shows a panoramic view looking from the 9th line over the old refcl farm dotted with houses to the highway

also indicates georgetown s chief recreational fac 1 1 ties ice arena swimming pool and golf club street names give history from time to time we are tempted to col lect historical background and write a series of articles about georgetown s street names like many things we don t ever seem to get around to it for instance did you know that market st recalls the days when a public market was held in a large area behind main st and farmers came to town to sell their wares or that fac flory street which passed into the limbo of the past when it was renamed park ave got its name when there was a wallpaper factory at the foot of the hill below the berwick hall apart ments or that kennedy st perpetuates the name of george kennedy one of our town s on cjinal settlers popularly supposed to have given fits christian name to the town though another story would have it named after one of the ear lier british kings more recently honour has been paid sev eral citizens by choosing street names the clo- verdale subdivision used the name of the prop erty owner harold cleave on cleaveholm drive a former mayor mr cleave was more recently honoured when the town chose harold street for a street name in the new park subdiv won delrex development gave former mayors and members of the 1954 council a niche in history when it used their names for some of the subdivision streets in that area we have mdntyre gibbons mackenzie armstrong mc gilvray hale dale norton gray lyons sarg ent noble and allen added to this are names of former property owners reid and sincla r plus names of some of the delrex personnel bairstow campbell delrex a combination of the first names of mr and mrs heslop and rexway another new park subdivision street con tains the name of a present councillor in hyde park dr like all canadian towns georgetown has leaned heavily on royalty for nomenclature thus we have queen st king st princess ann drive albert st victoria prince charles drive to name a few when ed tyers subdivided a portion of the former cedarvale farm a few years ago he used first names of his children to designate pauline edward and margaret streets plus tyers ave similarly in the swanek subdivision tom hew son gave the family name to hewson crescent while elizabeth street was named after his wife a link with history is contained in college street and academy road recalling a private school which once was located in that part of town wesleyan takes its name from the old wesleyan methodist church which is now the odd fellows hall we are puzzled about the de rivation of temple road

chlorine harmless almost tasteless introduction of chlorine into the town s wa ter supply has caused some expected repercus sionsnd several complaints have been register ed at the town office while there is a certain javex odour to the water there is relatively no taste that we can discern and what taste there is you will soon get used to as have residents in the cities and many smaller centres where chlonnation has been the custom for years in case you re wondering why it was intro duced here it became necessary when an iron fungus growth in the waterlmes began causing unpleasantness in some sections of townx the dirty water coming from taps was not a health hazard but was most unpalatable to pmiaents and the only solution was to inject chlorine to conquer the fungus is it just atemporary thing we fear not chlonnation will be with us for some time tc come so we might as well get used to the idea first as last travel notes b f auto lody finds new locaun after fin r ante body
