Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, November 20, 1957 to December 2, 1959, lvc000011-170

Mr. George Banian was the last protestant to speak before the Commission. Mr. Boman indicated that while he did not own property on Main Street or 5th Street, he works on South Main, and he cannot see where the change of the name of the street will be of any benefit. He stated that it would add, in his opinion, to the confusion of street addresses. Mr. A.L. Childs and Mr. Henry Bridgeman again spoke on behalf of the proposed change. Mayor Pro Tem asked if there was anyone else who wished to be heard on this matter, if not he would entertain a motion, since there were other items on the agenda to be taken care of by the Commission. Commissioner Fountain stated that he felt that this is a serious issue, and since there was not a full Board he moved that the proposed change of the name of Fifth and Main Streets be taken under advisement. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor Mayor Pro Tem Whipple voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Mayor Baker.
