NORTH MANCHESTER - George Scheerer, of Treeway Inn, North Manchester, complained to the town council Nov.7 about confusing street names. The council took up the issue Wednesday. After sifting down to Scheerer's precise concern, the council dismissed the idea of changing names. Bernie Ferringer, North Manchester building commissioner, said the project would be "a big can of worms" and would "change a lot of personal lives."The project would be "horrendous," he said. People would have a tougher time finding streets if names were changed, said councilman Warren Garner, leaning back in his chair. Jack Fetrow, director of public safety, said Wabash County's 911 coordination director would have to approve name changes for emergency service. Working at Treeway Inn, Scheerer said, he hears about the confusion from travelers.He wanted to "make town a little bit more friendly," he said on Nov.7.
