Should changes b? recommended by the committee, they will be published and a hearing will be held prior to any action by the Board. No action will be taken within a morih following the publication of-i vnyj proposed chan re. The action of the Mayor and Board was suggested by the ex istence of a number of streets in Chapel Hill which are confusing or meaningless. Pittsboro street, on«> time passage way to JPitts boro, and the present Pittsboro road were cited as one example. Boundary street, which wasonc* the East boundary of the village. Church street, which once had a Baptist church on it and North street, which at one time might have been the Northern boundary of town and which now has two distinct and separate parts have been mentioned as other examples of cor - - May#0,_ upon thenar that it was not .v ,\ one to disturb any ancient laHur*-*'* \ marks.
