ALD. DIANA HUTCHINSON’s concerns over
the effect of ‘‘mis-spelt’’ street names on West
Vancouver younsters aren’t shared by other
members of West Van municipal council.

Hutchinson took council
to task Monday for the spcll-
ing of Timberfeild,
Sprucefeild and other West
Vancouver streets where the
“i”? and the ‘‘e’’ in ficld have
been reversed

Hutchinson says C aulfeild
is spelled correctly because it
was named in honor of onc
of West Vancouver's foun
ding fathers, but that the
other street names arc just

**copying’’ and are incorrect

“I'm concerned about the
children growing up in this
area who are secing the word
mis-spelt,’* Hutchinson said.
“We know what the right
spelling is, so why don’t we
change it.”’

Hutchinson couldn't con-
vince other aldermen,
however. With no support
for her request, no action will
be taken.
