Ft. Worth, Texas, Oct. 7h, 1904.

TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF FT. WORTH,-

Gentlemen:--

We, the undersigned gardeners, vegetable vendors, and others at interest, respectfully represent:-

That we have recently removed the market, heretofore at Fourth and Houston Streets to Twelfth and Houston Streets in the City of Ft.Worth. Business at this market is transacted in the early hours of the morning before day, and lights are absolutely indispensable. While the City had one arc light at the South-east corner of the intersection of Houston and Twelfth Streets, we found this insuggicient, and we placed two other arc lights on Houston Street, each on the West side thereof, one between 11th and 12th Streets, and one between 12th and 13th Streets, and have maintained these lights at our own expense.

The locality mentioned is in every way suitable for this market. We suggest, however, that it is the duty of the City to maintain these lights, and, therefore, respectfully request your Honorable Body to recognize the use of the Streets in the vicinity stated, for the purpose aforesaid, and to relieve the udnersigned citiens and tax-payers of the expense of maintaining these lights.

Very respectfully,

Ft. Worth,Texas,11/11"/1903.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Fort Worth, Texas.

We, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers of the Second Ward many of whom reside and own property adjacent to West Fifth Street,most respectfully petition you honorable body to authorize the cutting down of West Fifth Street on the hill just East of Robinsons Branch and beginning at about where West Second Street runs into Fifth Street.

The attention of the Council is drawn to the fact that the said Fifth Street is an extensively traveled thoroughfare and is a good street with the exception of said hill.

That, the said hill is now veyr steep and in bad condition, and that by cutting down or grading down the said hill about two or three feet and using the material that may be taken there from in widening and filling up the said street near Robinsons Branch, that the said street can be made one of the best streets in the City, and,

That such improvement will not cost a great deal as the material of which the said hill is composed,is largely loose rock and gravel and will require but little additional material to make the same a good street when cut down.

And they further show that this improvement is one that is much needed and can be put through at a moderate cost.

They further show that the Second Ward is one of the most populous Wards of the City in which reside many of the largest taxpayers of the City, and, that in justice to this Ward this improvement should be ordered and made without delay.

Respectfully submitted.
