TO TIFM HCNORABLE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF FORT WORTH:
Undersigned, Nelle M. Luther and Nancy Luther Wilson,
joined by their respective husbands, A. C. Luther and Earl API'Ll-
son, Jr. , and General Lumber Company, a Texas corporation, act-
ing by and through R. Williams, its duly authorized secretary
and treasurer, each owning a part of Block 49, Chamberlain-
Arlington Addition to the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County,
Texas, and together owning all of such block, do hereby petition
the City Council of the City of Fort Worth for an order closing
the east-west alley through said Block 49, and respectfully
represent:
That such alley is in fact now and has been since its
dedication a private alley, and that no public interest is in-
volved; that petitioners own all of the property which abuts
upon and composes said private alley, and that the nature of
the existing and contemplated improvements and developments in
said Block 49 and in the surrounding area and the contemplated
-widening of Camp Bowie Boulevard have brought about a situation
necessitating the closure of such alley and the removal of
utilities therefrom so that the owners of said Block 49 may erect
buildings and improvements on, over and across said former
alley in order to fully utilize and enjoy the benefits from
their respective properties and so that such properties may be
devoted to their highest and best use.
Petitioners further represent that said private alley-
way has never been actually opened, used or accepted for travel,
and that the closure of same will be for the best public inter-
est, in that it will increase the value of the use and conse-
quent future tax value of such property by allowing suitable
buildings to be erected thereon by the respective owners , and
that the closure of such alley has been further necessitated by
the plan and program of the City of Fort Worth and other govern-
ing authorities to widen Camp Bowie Boulevard and thus require
improvement set-backs and loss of use by such owners of a wide
strip along the south lines of their said respective properties
so that if such set-backs are to be observed, such owners now
require the full use of the remainder of the lot for high grade
development consistent with and suitable for that location.
VII-IEREFORE, petitioners pray for an order of closure ,
and such other orders for the removal of utilities as may be
appropriate in the premises .
Respectfully submitted,
