To the Honorable Mayor & Board of Commissioners of the City
of Fort Worth.

We the undersigned residents and tax payers of the city
respectfully represent that a public crossing over the tracks of the
Gulf, Colorado & Sante Fe R. R. extending between Lipscomb St. and
College Ave. in the 10th Ward, has been closed; that the said crossing
and the street leading thereto have been in use for many years; that
the same was a good gravel street and is the property of city, and
that one Brooks has fenced in said street and placed obstructions
thereon, and has plowed up the gravel therein, claiming to have
authority for such action from the Board of City Commissioners.

And, we further represent that attached petition has heretofore been
presented to the Board of Commissioners asking that said street be
closed, and that the signatures to said former petition of some of the
undersigned were obtained through fraud and misrepresentation; therefore
we ask the Board of Commissioners to reconsider their action, if such
an order closing said street has been passed, and that the proper
officer be instructed to at once cause said fence and all other
obstructions removed from said street and crossing,and that said
street be placed in as good condition as it formerly was in.
