Mr. J. W. Robins, Supt., Santa Fe Ry., Cleburne, Texas.
Dear Mr. Robins:
I have yours of the 8th inst. in regard to Smith Bros. track crossing 6th St.
I am much inclined to think that your right-of-way holdings and street crossing permission from the City Council are sufficient to cover the case and permit the tracks being built. However, I will refer the entire matter to the City Attorney today, and will send you his reply.
Respectfully,
W.N.C.

Tracks for Smith Bros., Fort Worth.
Cleburne, June 8, 1906
Mr. J. B. Hawley, City Engineer, Fort Worth.
Dear Sir:
A herewith hand you a blue print outlining the proposed construction of two spur tracks for the accommodation of Smith Bros.' elevator and grain warehouse located on the west side of our main line, between 5th and 6th Streets and Terry and Pecan Streets.
While these two tracks cross 6th Street, neither of them are outside the right of way lines of this company, which, under its charter and permission for track laying from the City of Fort Worth, it is granted permission to lay tracks on its right of way. It, therefore, does not appear to me that we require any special charter or authority from the city for the construction of these tracks, and I write you in the matter concerning the grade at which these tracks should cross 6th Street.
With return of blue print, will you kindly advise if it will be satisfactory to lay these tracks at a similar grade line with our main line over that street crossing. Would like
