TO his Honor the Mayor and City Councilmen:-
Gentlemen.
Whereas: such confusion precails from the feet of one continuous Street bearing three distinct names in four separate sections throughout its course, Viz: Beginning at Pennsylvania Avenue thence South to Terrell Ave. being known also "Alma" Street; Terrell Ave. to Rosedale Street as "Broiles"; Rosedale Street to Magnolia Ave. As "Park Place" and South of Magnolia to place of ending again known as "Broiles" and being desirous of having the entire thoroughfare identified by one common name, we respectfully petition your honorable body to combine the several divisions under the common name of "Travis Avenue" thereby simplifying matters, and giving us a social, community and legal status,for which we shall ever pray.
Respectfully submitted.

Gentlemen of the City Council.
The attached Sheets of petition herewith presented for your consideration Show the entire population represented by the heads of families living along that part of the Street Known as Park Place, they being unanimous for the change.
Practically the Same Condition prevails along Broiels as the Names indicate, there being but two or three residents omitted on account of not being able to see them.
Senator Hanger gives the Situation along Alma, While some are not included no Word of protest has Come to our Notice Hence We believe entire harmony exists which makes for thorough approval of the hoped for change.
Very Respectfully Yours Geo. F. Roberts 1112 Park Place.
