TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE
CITY OF FORT WORTH, TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS:
Now comes the °haw Brothers Creamery
Company and Shaw Brothers Ice and Fuel Company and respect-
fully show to the court as follows, to-wit;
That they are owners of Lot 19, Farmer's
subdivision of Block 56, Tucker's Addition to the City of
Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, which fronts on Calhoun
dc
Street and runs back East one hundred feet just south of
2
the Eastern boundry line of Henrietta Street; that there i5
W a ten foot alley between said prey sf petitioners on
J m
m the south and the property of the Missouri; Kansas and
<; Texas Railway Company of Texas on the Borth of said Alley,
I m -
o° said alley is East of Calhoun street and is approximately
V;
seventy or seventy-five feet in depth.
m
W That on the East end of said alley is the
J
O
m right of way of said wailway company and there are railroad
tracks East thereof and said alley is a blind alley and does
not arose said railroad tracks.
Said alley is of no use to anyone except
the adjoining owners , and that your petitioners and the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas are the
only adjoining owners , and that your petitioners have leased
the property of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway
Company of Texas and are using said property exclusively;
that said alley is bounded as follows;
Beginning at the N. E. corner of Lot 19, Farmer's
subdivision of Block 56, Tucker's addition to the
City of Fort Wortn, Tarrant County, Texas; Thence
North 10 feet to the south line or the property
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rbalmny QomIDany
of Texas; Thence West along said south-bMIndiV line
of the property of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railway Company of Texas, a distance of about 75
feet; Thence South to the ijorth boundry line of
said Lot 19, Farmer's subdivision Block 56 Tucker's
Addition to the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County,
Texas; Thence East along the said North boundry
line of said Lot 19, Harmer 's subdivision Block 56
Tucker's Addition to the place of beginning
That there is no method of ingress and eg-
ress from the east end of said alley and the public is wholly
Y
Z
Q
shut off th6refrom and said alley is wholly useless to the pub-
w
lie and by the public and is used only by your
J
C i
N
m
�F petitioners.
F3 That your petitioners desire to use same for
� Q
the conduct of its business and can be used by petitioners to
3 advantage in the event same is closed as a public alley, and
m
W in its present condition it is of no use on benefit to the pub-
lic or any ether person, and is bearing no revenue to the City.
That same would be worthless from a standpoint of a sale because
of its location with reference to the property of your petitioners
and any one else owning same would be out off from ingress and
egress thereto and same is not contributing anything to the
wealth of any other person or the city should it be permitted
to remain in its present condition; that it would not be
practical to extend said alley Eastward because same is too
narrow for traffic, and because same to be safe would have to
go under the railroad tracks, and that there is no tunnel under
same.
That should same be closed that same can
be used by petitioners for the purpose of enlarging their plant
and business, and would yield an income to the City in the way
of Taxes from the owners; that so long as it remains in its
present condition it constitmtes a liability to petitioners and
is of no use to the general public and of no value to the City.
That said alley should be closed and in
the event same is closed and vacated it would become the
property of petitioners, and wrould be taxable as an asset and
a
not a liability.
