New Street Names

We are advised by Alderman Michael Wright that the Street Naming Committee
has selected the following two names for new roads in the City:

1. Leacock Street

This name would be applied to the new street being constructed between
Warwick Avenue and Marshall Avenue just east of Pitt River Road. Mr.
W.C. Leacock was an early resident of this area and served as an Alderman
on the Port Coquitlam Council from 1927 until 1931 and from 1934 to

1937. Both Mr. and Mrs. Leacock passed away a short time ago and were
residents of the City until that time. We believe a son and daughter
still reside in the City. The family has been contacted and have no
objection to this proposal.

2. Maxwell Place

The Conmittee is suggesting that this name-be applied to the new cul-de-
sac being constructed on the south side of the 1700 Block Westminster
Avenue, Miss Winter Maxwell was, in 1916, a teacher at James Park
School and organized the first May Day (although, for some reason, this
was not considered the first official May Day). As far as we are able
to determine there are no relatives of Miss Maxwell living, at least in
the City, at the present time.

Maps are attached to the reverse side of this memorandum showing the
lecations of the new strects.
