I COMMUNICATION: II it 533 East Angella Boulevard South Bend, Indiana February 21, 1935 To the Honorable Member of the Common Council of the City of South Bend. Gentlemen: it �It has been called to my a- :tention that, in the interests of correct spelling, it has been asked that the Council change the name of Angella Boulevard to Angela Boulevard. I would like to submit the following Considerations to your honorable body: i 1. Whether the street was originally named after Antonio Anguelle, lieutenant of La Salle in Ii his famous expedition down the Mississippi, or after Mother Angela, superior at one time of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, has no bearing on,the case. The Common Council no doubt knew in the beginning who the street was to be named after, and they named the street Angella, with two 11's and a final a, which did not agree with either of the two names. The exact spelling of proper names varies, zs is shown by the fact that we have in South Bend a LaSalle Street named. after La':'Salle, c-nd a street named Lafayette after the Marquis de la Fayette. There are many other instances. i!2. But since the Council did spell the name of the�ttreet with two "1's" it should not be 'changed, at least without indemnifying the residents on the street itself. In many cases these have had dies made, stationary engraved, and documents drown upm in which the sheet was named � as the Council by ordinance agreed to Ppell it. There would not only be financi&l loss but considerable trouble caused the residents if the name were changed, entirely apart from sentimental considerations. The undersigned-is one of those who has built on the street under I its old. name, and is strongly opposed to any change for merely academic reasons. No.sufficient reason has been shown by those proposing tb alt::er- the_:name oft- the`-.: Street; °and-.. although-,it :m&.g be said that the change proposed is a small. one, the trouble and expense caused would be exactly • the same as if the proposed name were Moreau Boulevard, or any other entirely dif- ferent name. In fact the needlessness of so slight a change would add to the annoyance caused. May I therefore petition your honorable body that the proposed change be dropped from considera- tion, as I believe was done once brfore; or that it be defeated, and that the rights of your petitioners who have invested in property on Angella Boulevard and Angella Avenue be maintained.] Respedtful.ly yours, Henry C. Staunton 533 East Angella Blvd. Taxpayer. O Motion of Councilman Goetz the Communication was accepted and ordered to be placed on file. Motion carried.
