fiardner Kllsworth. president of the t'nited t'ivic Associations, yesterday requested Borough President Connolly to push the maps of the Topographical Bureau calling for a renumbering of ihe streets throughout Queens Borough. The plans as now mapped nut by Ihe engineers of the bureau call for a consecutive numbering of the streets, beginning at the water front of the Kasl Klver In Long Island City, and extending to the city line. This will nee. s.nt.ue a change of street numbers throughout Woodside, vwnneni.

KImnurst, Lorons and East Blmhurat, wher numbers will jump from 75 to 1 00 points higher man al present. Owing to the developments made In hurst, the numbering of (he streets as they are at present starts from First street, Woodside. and goes out to the Flushing Creek. Under the new plan, Front street. Long Island City, will be known as First street, and the entire borough system will be based upon it.

This plan has already been adopted for Flushing. Itockaway and Wood-haven by both the Hoard of Estimate and the Hoard of Aldermen. It has been adopted by the Hoard of Estimate for the Buyslde and Hollis sections. The plan, If adopted as a whole, will eliminate all repetition of street names. The 1'nlted Civic Associations will endeavor to get the consents of properly owners for ihese street name DR.
