APP ED AS TO F
City Attorney
TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS:
We the undersigned owners of Lot # 6 and Lot # 12 South Half
of Block 54 as shown in dedication and plat filed in the Deed Records
of Tarrant County, Texas, Volume 1117, page 233, June 18, 1930, which
Lots are the adjoining and abutting property to a dedicated but unused
portion of ALTA AVENUE in the South Half of Block 54, River Crest
Addition, do hereby petition this Body to reduce the width of said
Alta Avenue to conform to plat thereof prepared by Brooks Baker, Survey-
or, December 14, 1951.
It is respectfully pointed out that this portion of Alta Avenue,
hereby sought to be vacated, since its dedication, more than twanty
years ago, has been unused and is a useless and unnecessary waste of
property, which would otherwise be subject to taxation, and
Further, since the dedication of ALTA DRIVE, an extension of
said Alta Avenue to the North, made in conformity with good taste
and planning, as approved April 4, 1950 by the City Plan Commission,
this portion of Alta Avenue, hereby sought to be vacated, will never
serve any public use; and that Alta Avenue, if narrowed in accordance
with this petition, will be Eighty (80) feet wide at its widest point,
and Fifty (50) wide at its narrowest point, which will be more than
ample for all present and future uses as a street, and
Further, if said portion of Alta Avenue is not vacated as
herein requested, the street line thereof will present an unsightly
and unconforming front line to an otherwise very beautiful and
complimentary addition to the City of Fort Worth, Texas.
It is therefore respectfully requested that this Honorable
Body ordain that Alta Avenue be narrowed in accordance with the
attached surveyor's plat, and that such portion of said street
deleted therefrom be vacated, abandoned and closed with the fee
thereto reverting to the adjacent owners as provided by law.
Respectfully Submitted

(being owners of Lots #6 and #12,
Blk. 54 River Crest, as shown in
Dedication and Plat filed in the
Deed Records of Tarrant County,
