Mr. R. C. Black,
City Engineer,
Beaumont, Texas.
Dear Mr. Black:
Yesterday I inquired at your office regarding a petetion for
closing of an alley between the South portion of Block 21 of the.
Oakwood Addition and the K. C. S; railroad. I found that Mr. Duke
was holding these papers for presentation before the PlAnning
Commission. However, I am of the opinion that this request should
clear through your office before going to the Planning Commission
for consideration.
Attached are the following:
Petetion (two Copies) signed by property owners
Letter from the R. C. S. Railroad dated February 21,
1950 signed by G. P. Williams, Assti to the President,
signifying their compliance with this request.
It is desired to close this street for the prospective purchaser
plans to build a warehouse adjacent to the railroad.
We shall greatly appreciate your consideration of this re-
quest and would like to know when it is to be presented to the
Commission as there is another matter we wish to take up with the
planning Commission at its next meeting.
Yours very truly,
l

It has come to our attention that owners of the property between
Hemlock and Poplar Streets south ofFulton Street will petition the Cityto
vacate a strip of land running 20 to 25 feet wide between Hemlock and Poplar
Streets adjoining our Chaison Branch line xight of way -.on the north, which
strip of land we understand was dedicated as a street but has never been
improved nor used -as a street.
Our company has mly a right of way easement for our tracks along
this area, so that we are really not interested in this little strip of
land, and have no objections to its being vacated.
Very truly yours,
