Mr. J.F. Henderson Chairman Police com-

Dear Sir

In response to your request for an opinion as to the citys right to abate the nuisance compained of in the attached petition I would say that the matter appears to me to be a private nuisance to be abated at the [instance?] of the houses specially damaged

It has been reported to me in this con nection that a nusiance exists by reason of water standing in the street as a result of the situation complained of- the city has the right to compel the abatement of this

Very respy EC Orrick City Atty

To the Honorable city Council of the city of F ort Worth:

Gentlemen:-

We, the undersigned citizens residing on Kane Street and in the 8th Ward of the City of Fort Worth, do most earnestly pray that your Honorable body make procision at an early date to gravel said Kane street.

We most respectfully show that it will now soon be cold weather and with this comes the rainey season, and with the conditions existing on Kane street at this time we could manage to go through another winter with the very greatest of annoyance and inconvenience. This street is, indeed, a bad one to travel during wet weather. We notice, with much pleasure, that through the efforts of your honorable body, a great many streets are now being graded and graveled in the city. Some of them are not traveled or used by the public as much as is Kane street. Some of the signers hereto have resided in the 8th Ward and on said street for a great many years; they have borne their proportionate share of taxes, etc. for the support of the city government during all these years, and yet this ward is in many placed without, not only passable streets in wet weather, but without sufficient fire protection and without sewerage. We are only asking now for your support and efforts to put Kane street in a good condition with proper grade and gravel, and to this end the subscribers hereto will pay the amount set opposite their respective names for the purpose of assisting in defraying the expenses of gradng and graveling said street. It is understood that each party signing this shall be laiable only for the amount subscribed by him individually.

We pray that your honorable body grant this request and make your order to have said street graded and graveled at an early date so that the same be put in condition before the winter rains begin.

Respectfully submitted.
