Petition

To his Honor the Mayor and Board of Alderman of the City of Fort Worth Tex

Gentlemen

We the undersigned citizens and property owners living along South Jennings Avenue and in the City of Fort Worth petition your Honorable body to have the crossing opened over the Santa Fe R. R. near the south city limits as it is very inconvenient for us to have to go to other crossings and this will make a good crossing with very little work.
