London Will Retain German Street Names.
The London County Council is not encouraging the changing of German street names. Despite the fact that the borough council of Stoke Newington requested that Wiesbaden Road should be renamed Beatty Road, after the naval hero, the local government committee, in a report that will be submitted to-day, says it is not satisfied that a sufficient cause for alteration has been made out.
Recently the county council decided to take no action with regard to renaming Berlin Road Gatford Road. Suggestions have been made by many citizens to change the names of Hanover Square and St. Petersburg Place.
