Gentlemen -
I hereby appeal to you for relief from an imposition being imposed on me by my neighbor, N. T. Hinkley. He has hauled about a car load of rocks and cinders, and put same in street gutter in front of his property, virtually filling up the gutter from curb line toward center of street. thereby stoping the natural course of storm water, and causing same to run over my property thereby doing me an injustice and also damage. Please give this your earliest attention, before I am compelled to ask for damage Respectfully & c J.K.Wilson 1201 Allen Ave City

Dear Sir:
I beg to most respectfully call your attention to the fearful condition of Lipscomb street,between Broadway and Daggett Avenue. Thirteen years ago this street was improved with gravel since which time not a thing has ever been done to keep it in proper condition. It is the natural water course for the drainage of all the territory South and West of it. The street is now almost impassible and being in front of one of our handsome school buildings is all the more reason why it should be repaired. I urgently invite you to drive over it during the next few days and see for yourself the fearful condition it is in. All who use this street constantly will appreciate your aldermanic influence in having it put in passable and decent condition. Will you give it your attention?.
Most Respectfully, James L Cooper MD

To the Hon City Council of the City of Fort Worth
Your petitioner John Gillen who is a citizen and tax payer in the City of Ft Worth and who is engaged in business on main street between 14th & 15th streets in Block B2 of Daggetts Addition respectfully represents that that the alley through said block is closed up and obstructed which works a great inconvenien ce to the business men in said block. Petitioner therefore prays your honorable body to have this matter investigated through the street and alley Committee, and that said alley be opened up
Respectfully John Gillen 1507 Main Street
