TO: THE HONORABLE EDGAR DEAN, MAYOR AND THE MEMBERS
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH:
GREETINGS:
LEON L. SANDERS, doing bu sine s s as United Heat Treating
Company, DOUBLE SEAL RING COMPANY, INC. , a corporation, CAIN AND
CAIN, contractors, a partnership composed of ROY CAIN and others, C. C.
GRIFFIN and HARRY B. FRIEDMAN, hereafter referred to as Petitioners,
respectfully petition the City Council to vacate and abandon the alley that runs
through Block 18, Ross Heights, an addition to the City of Fort Worth, Tarran
County, Texas, and as justification therefor, Petitioners would respectfully
show:
1.
That Block 18 is zoned as heavy industry; that the owners of said
block are all engaged in either the manufacturing or construction business
and said block presently has situated an same three heavy industries employ-
ing heavy machinery and equipment and the remainder of said block is used
as warehouse and storage place for contractors supplies; that there is under
contemplation and in the drafting stage improvements in said block that will
exceed $200, 000, 00. The Double Seal Ring Company, Inc. , one of the Peti-
tioners herein, presently is committed to build on Lots 11 through 19 an
additional building and install heavy machinery costing in excess of $100, 000.
The6 41 in said block will serve no useful purpose and the public,
due to the uses made and the type of structures constructed and to be construct-
ed upon said block, will never have any use or benefit from the alley.
2.
Due to the contour of the land and the fill or grade for the railroad
spur which runs to the back of said alley, there is no practical use for said
alley for any public purpose. Adequate access is provided all the industry
in said block by Montgomery Street to the West, Gendy Street to the East and
Bryce and Byers Streets on the North and mouth. To close and abandon said
alley will not affect in any manner the public interest but will encourage the
future development and improvement of said block by the building of substan-
tial industrial structures thereon thus increasing the taxable revenue to the
City of Fort Forth all in the public interest.
3.
Petitioners constitute the owners of all of the lots in said block
and attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A" and made a part of this petition is
a request in writing signed by all the owners of lots in Block 18, Ross Heights

of the laws of the State of Texas and the City Ordinances pertaining to the clos
ing and abandoning of alleys.

fully pray that this Petition be referred to the City Manager and the Honorable
Milo Thelin for recommendation and upon final consideration, Petitioners res
pectfully pray that said alley be vacated and abandoned.
