On January 21, 1963, the City Council agreed to request of the River Oaks City Council to adopt an ordinance ratifying paving assessments against bene- fitted Fort Worth property owners along Robett Cu�-Off Road. The City of River Oaks plans to construct permanent paving on Roberts Cut-Off Road from a point near State Highway 183 to its northerly city limit line. River Oaks will construct the base and curb and gutter with its city forces, and award a contract for placing the 1� inch hot-mix asphaltic concrete surface on the 40-foot roadway. A 3,092.4-foot section of the road is adjacent to property in Fort north, although the entire street is in River Oaks. The amount to be assessed is $3.90 per lineal foot, including $1.50 per foot for curb and gutter, a rate which compares favorably with prevailing assessment rates for street construction, and with the average of $4.96 per foot payment to the City of Fort Worth which River Oaks offerred to make for property in that city along Isbell Road when this project was under consider- ation.
