With reference to the request of the Lester Place Civic Asso- ciation to change the name of William Place and Hoyt Avenue to Les- ter Place, please be advised that it is not good policy to give the same name to two streets intersecting at right angles unless they both start at the point of intersection. However, since there are no houses facing William Place, thereis no objection to changing the name of William Place to Lester.Place -- and since Hoyt Avenue is a continuation of Lester Place, it should be changed to Lester Place,'!

"I have been advised that a part-time position will be placed in the Non-competitive Class if the same position on a full- time basis would be a Competitive Class position. bay The Building and Plumbing Inspector is in such a category and as a professional engineer, Mr. Friedlander is qualified for the position. However, as an exempt position, which is what this was for- merly considered, we never carried it in our Compensation Plan, As allon-competitive position, the classification should be in- cluded as part of our Plan, and it would be in order to amend our Compensation Plan by resolution by the addition of the position of Building and Plumbing Inspector (Part Time) at $2, 500."

As we will not need all of these funds at,present, it is planned to place $150, 000 on a time deposit basis at an interest rate of 2ofo for six (6) months which will have the effect of reducing our interest costs on the entire borrow- ing to considerably less than 1%.
