THE GEO. B. LOVING COMPANY LAND, CATTLE AND RACHES WORTH HOTEL BUILDING
FORT WORTH, TEXAS. June 6th 1900.
J. T. Lehane Esq.,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Dear Sir:-
I wish to call your attention to that part of Cannon Avenue on the corner to Clarence Street to the alley on the East. This alley is now being used, to a great extent, as a public high-way for heavy traffic and the recent rains have cut it out in such a way that within a short time it will become a deep gulley, the same as it is South of my property. Last Sunday there were a great many carriages out on Cannon Avenue and the majority of them on arriving at this ditch were compelled to turn around and drive back.
I wish also to call your attention to the condition of Clarence Street, between Cannon Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue. It is in a wretched condition and it is almost impossible for children to get to school in wet weather. I would be glad to have you investigate this matter and see if something cannot be done to have the alley East of my place from becoming a deep gulley and destroying the value of my property.
Yours truly,
C.C. French
