The meeting is tentatively set up for 2:00 P.M. on Monday afternoon, Oct. 15. The problem is that one half of the street has one name and the other half another name; there have been suggestions made that the entire route which is Fairmount Avenue in the north part of San Diego and is to be extended through to S. 43rd Street might be renamed entirely as Fairmount Avenue, or Fairmount Avenue Extension. However, there is nothing c.)ncrote, it was merely a discussion. As soon as we receive more in- formation he will make a report.
