was asked to comment on a number of proposed names for rural roads After several discussions and one special meeting works finally went through Ihe list and approved only a few names suggesting the majority be left the way they arc now as numbers Council however decided no names should be used only numbers The town also has asked the region to have their numbers correspond with local numbers i or example 10 Sideroad Is also known as regional road ID which council likes However Trafalgar Is know locally as Seventh 1 and has regional number Council in rejecting names has cancelled out Trafalgar Road and asked the region to name it regional road seven to correspond with the Seventh Line Councillor Miller urged either all roads be given names or all be num but not some of both as committee recommended There should be no change because people living in the country won know where they ore going if roads are known by their historic names as welj as regional number and regional names Councillor Pat Patterson declared Councillor Pot McKenzle noted the region t drop ping lis numbers but simply adding a name Under the regional scheme Trafalgar would be known by ils name and
