Jun 21, 2022 Koliver Jun 14, 2022 Harpwench Apr 25, 2022 Fort Worth Public Library	31 To the Honorable Board of Aldermen, About June 12th, 1902, my house, 804 Laurel Street, caught fire from a neighbor building burning and was partially burned. The damage was assessed by a competent assessor at $3775.99. The Fire Department got there before my house caught fire, but owing to the neglect of the city in not having water in the standpipe, the department was helpless. It seems to me and all who I talk that the city ought to be liable for such neglect or at least share in the loss with me by releasing me from tax obligations for two or three years of such time as the Honorable Board think right. Kindly let me hear your decision in the matter.
