W. SHANNON, Assistant Superintendent BEAUMONT CITY SCHOOLS FRED W. HUNTER, Superintendent School Administrative Offices College and Neches Streets BEAUMONT, TEXAS Feb. 11 1957 Mr. J. D. Martin, City.Engineer City .of Beaumont Beaumont., Texas Dear Mr. Martin: CECIL COLLINS, Business Manager The attached map is the site of the Dunbar Jr. High School and the area which is shown in red represents a portion of the ground on which negotiations for the purchase of the property are complete. The portion that is shown in yellow represents land which is being purchased at the present time. We are very anxious to have McKinley Street and all the alleys leading into McKinley officially closed by the City govern- ing body in order to allow the school district to build a building which will extend over a portion of McKinley Street. We have set a date for taking bids on this project for March 6th and we would like to have immediate action by the City officials at the earliest possible date, which I understand will be February 12th. I am providing this same plan to the officials of the United Gas Corporation, Gulf States Utilities Company, and the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in order that they might make an immediate investigation as to whether or not they will have any future need of the street and alleys in this particular area for their services. They should be ready at once to answer any question that you might have to ask them in connection with this. Will you please rush this matter in order that we will have a definite answer by the middle of February. CC/mb Enc. Sincerely, Cecil Collins, Business Manager Big A. W.

I wish'to call your attention to the fact that it has been necessary for us to change one thing in connection with the purchasing of the property adjacent to and on each side of Shamrock Alley. The plan which I sent you showed that we were going to purchase this property to within sixty (60) feet of Irving Street, but for several reasons it has been necessary that we change and we are going to purchase the property to within one hundred thirty-five (135) feet of Irving Street. This will be more in line with the other property which we are purchasing in this area which extends approximately one hundred thirty (130) feet, more or less, from Irving Street. In the event the City places a street and railroad along the east side of Irving Street, I am sure that the Board will be glad to purchase from the City the surplus property that the City will have between the street and railroad area and the school site.
