The report of the Commissioner of Streets and Public
Grounds, recommending that (Hemphill Street) be paved (from the south
line of Magnolia Street to where the southern boundary of the city
limits crosses Hemphill Street) with what is known as bitulithic
pavement, coming on to be heard and the board of commissioners there-
upon and also upon their own motion having carefully considered the
necessity and advantage of paving said street in the manner requested
and it appearing to the board of commissioners that there is a
public necessity for having said street paved with the said pave-
ment and it further appearing that so paving said street will in-
crease the value of the property abutting thereon in a sum equal to
or greater than the cost of constructing said pavement in front of
the respective property abutting on said street. It is therefore
hereby ordered that the owners of property abutting said street
be and they are each respectively called upon to construct said
improvement in front of their several properties respectively and
that they construct said pavement in accordance with the specificat-
ions accompaining said recommendation & that the Northern Texas Traction company so pave between its tracks
on said street & for a space of 18 inches on the out side of said tracks, and that said specifications
be recorded, to-wit, upon pages 506, 507, 508, 509 of book R of the
minutes of the proceeding of the board of commissioners and immedi-
ately following the recording of this order and that this order
not including said specifications be published in the official news-
paper of the city of Fort Worth to-wit, The Fort Worth Star, once a
day for ten consecutive days in order that persons owning property
on said street may have due notice thereof and in order that if any
person owning property on said street be unwilling to pay his or her
part of the cost of constructing said improvement in front of the
property owned by him or her that such person may file or cause to
be filed his or her objection or protest thereto on or before the
next regular meeting of the board of commissioners after the final
publication of said order.
