D. Martin, City Engineer Beaumont, Texas Dear Sir: We have received your letter of September 1, 1955 con- cerning the abandoning of a 20 foot alley running east and west through the block bounded by Roberts Avenue, Prairie Avenue, Victoria Street and Orange Street. At the present time, United Gas Corporation does not have any lines within the 20 foot width of the existing alley, and we have no objections to substituting a 10 foot utility ease- ment for the 20 foot alley tray. Yours very truly, CORPORATION Division Manager AIS : ew GULF STATES UTILITIES COMPANY September 9, 1955 Beaumont, Texas City of Beaumont Beaumont, Texas ATTENTION: J. D. Martin, City Engineer Dear Sir : PROPOSED CLOSING OF ALLEY SOUTH OF ROBERTS AVENUE BEDJEEN VICTORIA AND ORANGE STREETS Your letter of September lst, to Mr. Cargill has been referred to me for reply. We have investigated the alley in question and find that we do have overhead electric facilities extending a short distance into this alley from each of Victoria and Orange Streets. We offer no objection to closing of the alley provi— ded the ordinance by which it is closed provides that we have access to our facilities in the alley. However, we could not agree to the substitution of a ten foot utility easement with the same centerline of the present alley in as much as our facilities are located approximately one foot from the south line of the alley and would therefore be outside of this proposed easement. I recommend that the utility easement be made twenty feet wide to include the area now incorporated in the alley. JDJ/md cc: Mr. Cargill Mr. Coltharp Very truly yours, GRANAU DIVISION MANAGER Beaumont Division SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY P. 0. Box 2911 Beaumont, Texas September 19, 1955 Mr. J. D. Martin City Engineer City of Beaumont Beaumont, Texas Dear Mr. Martins. ff)'r cl , i f A FORM S -9001-A 1 13°./9 A survey has been completed as requested in your letter dated September 1, 1955, and the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company does have a line located nine feet south of the center line of the present alley. To close the alley and dedicate an easement, as indicated in your drawing, our line would have to be relocated approximately five feet north, which would entail an expenditure of $699.52 that we feel should be borne by those desiring the move. The existing pole line is jointly occupied by Gulf States Utilities Company, and changes made will have to be coordinated with them by the parties desiring the move. This company would prefer to have the south half of the exist- ing alley dedicated as an easement if it can be agreed upon by the parties involved.
