The Village Trustees voted to accept the name AUBURN as its only name as requested by the Ontario Geographic Names Board at its June meeting held last Saturday evening in the Town Hall. Chairman Warner Andrews was in charge of the meeting and the Village Clerk, Frank Raithby read the minutes. Btfdget estimates were discussed and also improvements to Auburn's big hill which has been widened to help with the traffic, winter and summer. Chairman Warner Andrews received the letter from the Ontario Geographic Names Board requesting a change to Auburn from Manchester. This Board has the statuatory authority over names of geographic features and unincorporated places in the province. The Nomenclature Section, Ministry of- Natural Resources un- dertakes research, prepares name sub- missions for the Board's consideration and maintains the OGNB record of official geographic names; these are provided for use on government maps, charts, in gazetteers, etc. thus ensuring usage of a uniform name per feature throughout the government. The OGNB recently became aware of the discrepancy in the name of the village -as listed in various pub'licati`ons and shown on maps. The Federal National Topographic System I:50,000 scale map shows the name Auburn, whereas the Ontario - made one inch to eight mile scale territorial series map No. 21, Southern Ontario, shows, the name Manchester (Auburn Post Office). The Municipal Directory 1977-1978 lists only Manchester .„while only Auburn appears on the Federal list of Post Offices in Canada. The OGNB stated that seeing that the Police Village is unin- corporated, this Board can authorize a change in name to reconcile the Auburn Lions Club plans new bleachers Lion Bud Chamney was in charge of the meeting held last Wednesday evening in the Auburn Community Memorial Hall.
