	Another name for "No Name" was suggested by [[H.~~%20Ray%20Williams~~\|H. Ray Williams]], of [[44 Church Street\|44 Church street]], Saranac Lake.		Another name for "No Name" was suggested by [[H. Ray Williams\|H. Ray Williams]], of [[44 Church Street\|44 Church street]], Saranac Lake.

	"Why not call it Colyer Lane"? Mr. Williams asks. "In memory of [[Worthie Colyer\|Worthie E. Colyer]] who passed away in Saranac Lake in 1934. For many years he owned 74 and 76 Park ave., and two lots in the rear of each facing [[Baker Street\|Baker street]]. He was boosting for [[Park Avenue\|Park avenue]]., when most of us thought of that section as a farm. He also was a [[Saranac Lake Village Trustees\|Village Trustee]] for one term about 1928 or 1930." Mr. Williams added, "This name is short and easy to pronounce and remember."
