Jones Re: Alley Closing Block 39, City Manager North Fort Worth Addition Building Dear Sir: You will find attached a letter from Mr. Nelson Scurlock, Attorney for the T. E. Mercer Distributing Company, requesting the closing of a portion of the alley in Block 39, North Fort Worth Addition. You will also find attached a plat showing the location of this proposed closing and the other alleys that have been closed in this vicinity. We have checked this alley and have found that it has never been opened for public use and there are no utility lines in the alley. Renfro Street at the south end of the alley has been closed by Ordinance No. 2304, which closes the alley at the south end of the block. This is an industrial section and in order to construct large buildings, warehouses, it is necessary that the alleys be closed. Mr. Scurlock is of the opinion that the alley in the north 1501 of this block has already been closed. However, our records do not show this. The T. E. Mercer Distributing Company owns the entire block. Our recommendation is that the entire alley in Block 39, North Fort Worth Addition be closed by Ordinance. Yours very ly,Iflo C. M.

Jones City Manager Fort Worth, Texas Dear Mr. Jones: We represent T. E. Mercer Distributing Company, a partnership composed of George E. Mercer, Wm. 0. Compton, Mrs. T. E. Mercer, a widow, and Mrs. Irene Mercer Compton. This company is the owner of the following described property in North Fort Worth: Lots 19 2, 3, 10, 11, 12 & 13 in Block No. 39 of Forth Fort Worth Addition, and the North 221 feet of Renfro St. between Block D and Block 39 of North Fort Worth Addition, all in the City of Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. I am attaching a little plat which will clarify the situation. Renfro St., shown on the plat, was closed by City Ordinance No. 2304. Also, on August 21st, 1946, the City of Fort Worth executed and delivered to Walter Dearmin a quit claim deed to "Renfro St. from North Main St. to North Commerce St. and being between Block D and Block 39 of North Fort Worth Addition to the City of Fort Worth." The title of T. E. Mercer Distributing Company comes from Walter Dearmin. T. E. Mercer Distributing Company respectfully petitions the City of Fort Worth to enter an order closing the alley between Lots 19 2, and 3 on the one side and Lots 10, 11, 12 and 13 on the other side, all in Block 39. In this connection I have been informed by my client and by Mr. George W. Childs, of the Childs Construction Company now engaged in erect- ing a building on this property, that the alley has already been officially closed immediately North and immediately South of the property in question. I have not seen the records to this effect but am reasonably sure it is true. Of course, I do observe that with Renfro St. being officially closed there is no entrance to the alley in Block 39 from the South. As a matter of record I will add that T. E. Mercer Distributing Company acquired the title to Lot 10 in Block 39 and the North half of Renfro St. adjoining Block 39 by a special warranty deed executed by Walter Dearmin dated January 24, 1947. This deed is recorded in Volume 1873, Page 233, Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas. Also, the T. E. e Mr. W. 0. Jones -2- January 31, 1950 Mercer Distributing Company acquired the title to Lots 1, 2, 3, 119 12, & 13 in Block 39 by a varranty deed dated January 24, 1947 and recorded In Volume 1873, Page 232, Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas. The favorable action of the City of Fort Worth xill be greatly appreciated in connection xith this petition and request.

Jones City Manager Fort Worth, Texas NAGER MA Dear Mr. Jones: Please refer to my letter of January 31, 1950, wherein I requested, on behalf of our client T. E. Mercer Distributing Company, that the alley dividing certain property in Block 39 of North Fort Worth Addition to the City of Fort Worth be closed. In my letter I stated that the alley immedi- ately north of Lots 3 and 10 in Block 39 was already closed; and this was the information furnished me. I am now informed by the officials of the City that the alley has not been officially closed in any part of Block 39. I therefore wish to amend my petition and request that the alley be closed in the entire Block. In this connection I wish to state that Lots 49 59 69 7, 89 and 9 in Block 39 are owned by the T. E. Mercer Teaming and Trucking Contractor, which is also a partnership composed of George E. Mercer, Mrs. T. E. Mercer, a widow, and Irene Compton. These are the same persons who, along with Wm. 0. Compton, compose the partnership of T. E. Mercer Distributing Company. Very truly yourih. NS:mes cc: Legal Department City Hall Fort Worth, Texas Public Works Department City Hall Fort Worth, Texas
