Secretary:
"Dear Mrs. Bowyer:
At a meeting of the New Berlin Planning Commission of December
15, 1969, the renaming of Racine Avenue was considered inasmuch as
Racine Avenue in the City of New Berlin has now been relocated and,
of course, retained the name of Racine Avenue. To avoid confusion
the Plan Commission feels that it would be prudent to rename old
Racine Avenue the same in both Muskego and New Berlin. Inasmuch as
would like some direction by Muskego in initiating said name change.
the majority of this street lies in the city of Muskego, New Berlin
Your quick response to the above matter will be greatly appre-
ciated.
Sincerely,
