To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of The City of Ft Worth.

We your undersigned petitioners, respectfully submit, that there is no street or Highway now open between the eastern part of the Third Ward, and the Third Ward School building, and there is but one street between said eastern part of the Ward and the business section of the City, and these conditions work a great hardship on the residents of Chambers Hill addition to the City:

Therefore we respectfully urge upon your honorable body, that some steps be taken with the least possible delay to open up a street, preferably East Nineteenth Street, so that access may be had to the Ward School, and to the business districts, without having to go round by way of East Front Street, as this street is becoming dangerous from the rapid running of Inter-Urban cars, and congestion of traffic.
