City Manager between Fort Worth and Benbrook.
Building
Dear Sir:
We wish to submit for your consideration the proposed extension of the corporate
limits of the City of Fort Worth to include the lands along both sides of the Clear
Fork of the Trinity River between the City of Fort Worth and the City of Benbrook.
We are attaching a plat that shows the present city boundaries of each city and
the tract of land under consideration.
Due to the possibility of a separate incorporation or the possible extension
of the Benbrook city limits to include a part or all of this tract of land,
and dins to contemplated development in the area, we would like to recommend
that the City of Fort Worth extend its boundaries to include all of the tract
of land bounded in red lines on the attached plat and described by the follow-
ing metes and bounds description:
Beginning at a point in the present City of Fort Worth city limit line, said
point being at a corner in the south line of the J. Howard Survey and the north
line of the T & P Railroad Company's Survey;
Thence, west along the south line of the J. Howard Survey, the Geo. Shield
Survey and across a part of the J. F. Heath Survey to a point in the east
line of the J. Watson Survey, said point being at a corner of the Benbrook
city limit line;
Thence,in a northerly and westerly direction along the Benbrook city limit
line to a point where said line intersects the City of Fort Worth city
limit line in the Old Stove Foundry Road where the Texas and Pacific
spur track turns north to Carswell Air Force Base;
Thence, in an easterly and southerly direction along the present City of
Fort Worth city limit line to the place of beginning and containing
approximately seven square miles of land„
yours very ly,
