Dear Sir:-
In the matter of attached petition referring tot he 50 ft. strip of ground recently sold to A. O Harvey by the City of Fort Worth, I wish to say that I have had surveys made and find that the Pollock property encroaches about 15 inches on said ground, in front and 2ft 10" in rear.
I have also had stakes set for the opening of Alston Ave. south of Magnolia.
Yours respectfully, E.C. Woodward City Engineer.
