FORT WORTH, TEXAS, March 19, 1906. 1905

Hon. The Mayor and City Council,
Ft. Worth, Texas.

Gentlemen:

We, your committee on Streets and Alleys, and City Engineer,
to whom were referred the matters of opening Burford St., Bois D' Arc
St. &c., have the honor to report:

That after investigation we have decided that all of these
street opening proceedings should be indefinitely postponed on ac-
count of expenses necessarily involved.

In the case of Bois D'Arc St. alone, the sum of $2200.00 is the
very least for which the necessary land alone can be secured, and several of
the other street openings will also be quite expensive.

After due consideration of our financial condition, we have
deemed it for the best interest of the City to postpone as above
recommended.

Respectfully,

B. L. Waggoman
Jake F. Zurn
W. H. Ward
Committee.

John B. Hawley
City Engineer.
