March 25, " 1908. Fort Worth. Texas.

To the Honorable Board of Commissioners of Fort Worth, and
to the Honorable Sam Davidson, Street Commissioner.

Gentlemen:

We, the undersigned citizens and property owners abutting
on Pennsylvania Avenue, respectively petition your Honorable body
not to pave Pennsylvania Avenue in front of their property at the
present time as they believe owing to the recent panic and the con-
dition of affairs resulting therefrom, that times are too hard for
such work at this time, that it would be better to defer such action
until times get better and money easier.

That the street is already in good condition, never gets
muddy, drains well, and they are perfectly satisfied with it in its
present condition, and they therefore respectively ask your
Honorable body not to pave it at this time.
