Getung back to the topic, Alderman Diana Hutchinson stated her strong dissatisfacuon with West Vancouver's use of ‘feud’ in street names. She com- plained about the “wrong spelling of the English language” which began with the road named for Mr. Caulfeild.

And even a developer was unhappy with the naming of streets in his subdivision. John Evans, the Intrawest Properties vice president, suggested the Monte Bre development be named Monte Bre Crescent, Court and Place instead of the Sprucefeiuld tno
