He well understands the numbering <br />system and this may be a subject which could best be <br />integrated within his training scheduling, under his <br />supervision. <br />2. Bob Haas' request to change the name of Old NC 86 to Old <br />Chapel Hill Road: <br />- I am still opposed to the change for the reasons cited <br />in my May 23 memo to you. An additional reason not to <br />change is that Old NC 86 comprises the southern <br />portion of the North /South axis, the very core of the <br />Equal- Interval numbering system, and is written into <br />our adopted house- numbering ordinance as such (Old NC <br />86). <br />- I am not familiar w_th the 1961 official road naming <br />material which you briefly mentioned to me at the <br />hearing. "I await further instructions from you as to <br />what policy to pursue in satisfying the Commissioners' <br />directive to pursue this issue. <br />3.
