Passed this the of My, A.D. 19 • r I.Ia.yor. . r Beaumont, `�..exas, April 30, 1927 1'he- onorable--�City Commission, Beaumont, Texas. Gentlemen I am the owner of property in Block -53 of the North addition to the City of Beaumont, Texas, through which an alley runs, as per map attached: I now have a buyer for one portion -of my property but cannot sell un- less said alley is closed, I have attempted to go about the closing of this alley by petition.in the customary manner, but the only other property owner in this block refused to sign the petition on its presentation. She at first said she was willing, but made the provision that she be allowed to trim one tree and out down another, both of which bor- der her property but are on mine: I agreed to her trim- ming both trees but asked that neither be destroyed. This seemed satisfactory but before the petition could again be presented, she made the statement to my buyer that she had no intention of allowing the alley to be closed and gave as her reason that at some remote date we had asked her to "remove her geese from our garden.* It is apparent from such trivialities that she has no particular objection to the alleys being closed but merely harbors resentment. Therefore, since I can- not accomplish the closing of the alley in the usual way and since I feel that -its being closed in no way inconven- ienaps-anyone_since it_touches on no property but my own; and;- most important -of all,-sinee---i-t-vis-so essential- to=me to make this sale, I'trust that some means can be found to close the alley other than by petition: This alley has been closed to the public.by a fence for at least ten years and I understand from the City.Engineer that an alley clos- ed for a period of ten years is automatically a closed al- ley, and may go. on record as. such. I therefore put this matter before your honorable body, trusting that you will give it your consideration and see your way clear to grant my request, as it is a matter of vital importance to me. Hoping to hear favorably from you, I am Respectfully yours, Mrs. C. W. smmer. � .� ^_, ....,,s�.,'��: `*'�''•;� � "may j�[N.✓+�f�" �} 'iE � I � �1 `,� � � � �� , C �f', —�� ! r:. `�` � i `�� i � r � n `` � \` �1 � � � �� 1 �.� `i I "� \ I � -1 � 1 J C � � ,. , ��., ��,'� �r � � ^� .'w F i ♦...� ,.� it � . . /� � � - � _, .� � �,,•� '�~ � I �� . . .� , � ' ' � �' ..r � I � i ..� —: .� � --_... __ a __� _�� 'iE � I � �1 `,� � � � �� , C —�� ! r:. `�` � i `�� i � r � n `` � \` �1 � � � �� 1 �.� `i I "� \ I � -1 � 1 J C � � ,. , ��., ��,'� �, �� _, �� . . .� , � ..� —: .� � --_... __ a __� _�� ' •Cay, TSS Sum o7 mus COUNTY o8 JA M RSON.
