To the Honorable City Council of the City of Fort Worth,
Gentlemen:
The condemnation proceedings in the matter of the widening of Sixth Street were held and the commissioners to-day rendered their decision which is that the city pay eighteen hundred dollars for the land desired.
I do not advise any action at this time on the part of the Council as ten days are allowed for appeal and Mr. Anderson does not seem to be satisfied with the amount of the award and I do not know what position the city will take in the premises.
I would suggest to the city that an appeal is not desirable unless they think that the property is indispensable, for if the Council does not desire to take the property it is not compelled to take it and can wait and have the matter passed upon by another commission. If, however, the Council should be of opinion that the matter should be proceeded with and that the price allowed is too much, then I would thank the Council to instruct me to take the proper proceedings to appeal the matter to the County Court.
Very respectfully, E. C. Orrick City Atty
