The Honorable Board of Commissioners ,
City of Fort Worth, Texas.
Gentlemen:
of tbA-p mmi QG4 pn on February 28th,
It was decided to ask your honorable body to change the name of
"BOULEVARD" North Fort Worth, the two hundred foot wide street
extending south from Circle Park to Oakwood Cemetery, to
VERNON CASTLE BOULEVARD
in honor of a brave and gallant gentleman who gave his life for
another at Benbrook Aviation Field.
The Park Department is interested in this street owing to
the fact that it controls the large parkways in the center, which
aggregate six and seventy-seven one-hundredths acres .
The suggestion for the name was made by Mrs . McCarthy.
Very respectfully,
Ft.Worth Park Dept. ,
By
Supt.-Engr.
