REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON NAMING ROADS
The Committee appointed at the last Annual Town Meeting to bring in names for several unnamed roads, sug- gest the following :
From Herring Brook Road, nearly opposite McKoy Road, westerly to Cape Cod Bay, "Thumpertown Road."
From Herring Brook Road westerly to Cape Cod Bay, near the property of Maurice D. Gill, "Cole Road."
From State Highway, near the property of Reginald Moulton, northwesterly to Governor Prince Road, "Hay Road."
From Doane Road northwesterly to Nauset Road, near the property of B. Loring Young, "Little Creek Road."
From Kingsbury Beach Road northwesterly to Herring Brook Road, near the property of Philip M. Smith, "Weir Road."
From State Highway through Ellis property, taken at special Town Meeting in 1938, "Ellis Road."
From Camp Ground northerly, intersecting Cook's Brooks Road, "Higgins Road."
From Nauset Road, near the property of Ralph A. Chase, westerly to State i.ighway, near the property of George P. Brackett. "Brackett Road."
50
From State Highway easterly to Heminway Landing, "Heminway Road."
We found McKoy Road named Camp Street on the Town Map and suggest this be corrected.
We also found the road from State Highway past prop- erty of George A. Smith had previously been named Smith Road, but unmarked. In deference to the wishes of Mr. Smith we suggest this be named, "Smith Lane."
Respectfully submitted.
