MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICAN STATE OF TEXAS WM. R. GRANT, DISTRICT DEPUTY 17 pOWELL BLDG. FORTWORTH, TEX Oct. 28th., 1907.
The Hon. the Mayor and Board of Commissioners, Fort Worth, Texas.
Sirs:--
Noting the desire of our city executives that an emergency water supply be provided for the city, witout having seen location of proposed Parker County surface re-servoir as explained at lenght in Sunday's papers, I offer to the point out a possiable location of a water fall within twenty miles of Fort Worth, which, at little cost would furnish not only all the emergency water this city will ever need but also motive power for Fort Worth and many other cities.
Respectfully submitted, [M. Gaul] ex-Engineer, Anglo-Egyptian Dredging Co. and Euorpean Commission of the Danube.

Fort Worth, Texas,Oct. 18,1907.
To the Honorable Mayor & Board of Commissioners of the City of Fort Worth:-
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of the City of Fort Worth , residing in the vicinity of Jennings Avenue and Myrtle Street,and owning property in that vicinity,would respectfully petition your Honorable Body to widen Myrtle Street ten (10) eleven (11) feet from the point where it intersects with the West line of Jennings going East to the point where it again instersects the West line of said Jennings Avenue.
Your petitioners would further show that Jennings Avenue stops at Myrtle Street at a certain point, and then shifts eastwardly and that Myrtle Street,as at present laid out and delineated, is only about twenty(20) feet wide from curb to curb,from the point where it intersects the West li ne of the most westerly Jennings Avenue to the point where it intersects the West line of the most easterly Jennings Avenue. This would comprise a distance of about one hundred and ten (110) feet from one West line to another.
Your petitioners would further show that Myrtle Avenue between said points is so very narrow that it scarcely admits of two teams driving abreast,and when big teams are driven across there,one or the other must drive into the gutter and wait until the other passes by.

Your petitioneres are informed that this ten feet to which they refer belongs to J.E.Johnson subject to a mort-
