JNO. T. MONTGOMERY.
CITY SECRETARY,

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, April 26 1906

Hon Mayor & City Council

Gentlemen.

Your petitioner would respectfully state that
he is the owner of lots 10 and 11 Block 40
Glenroad Addition on Bessie Street, upon which
he has erected a two story brick store house.
and a full frame cottage, both costing many
thousands of dollars that one of the owners
of a lot in the vicinity of this improvement
has so filled his lot as to obstruct the natural
drainage and when a heavy rain causes all
waste water runs over the lot of petitioners and
has so washed the foundation of his structure
that same is about to fall down and has now
been injured to a large extent. at a very
small cost the city could remedy the situation
and your petitioner would ask that your street
Commissioner and Engineer be instructed to at
once relieve the situation and save destruction
of my property.

Rsply
C.E. Ingram
