RESOLUTION
A resolution defining the having policy of the City of Lubbock in regard to all paving on all
streets and/or avenues within or along the City Limits and establishing the amount of the City's
participation, and establishing the method of determining assessments,
Whereas, the City Commission of the City of Lubbock has determined that the paving policy of the
City of Lubbock needs revising in order to establish just, fair and equitable assessments against all
property, and,
Whereas, the City Commission of the City of Lubbock has determined that the "front foot plan" is
just, fair and equitable when the rates per foot are the same for the streets of. the same width in the
same paving project, and,
Whereas, the terms and provisions of Chapter 106 of the Acts of the 40th Legislature of the 6tate
of Texas and amendments thereto, which have been adopted as amendments to and made a part of the
Charter of the City of Lubbock give the City the power to assess by Ordinance abutting property and
owners thereof all or part of the cost of constructing, reconstructing, repairing and realigning curbs,
gutters and sidewalks and for a maximum of 90 percent of the cost of constructing, reconstructing,
repairing and realigning paving improvements: therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COIMISSION OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
1.
THAT, all paving improvements constructed on any street and/or avenue along or within the City
Limits of Lubbock, Texas must be constructed in accordance with the City's standard plans and
specifications under the supervision of the City Engineer and the distribution of costs shall be in
accordance with the following provisions.
1A. Definition: The words abutting property as used herein shall mean property abutting the
improvement including but not limited to property abutting the right of way upon which the
improvement is being made.
11.
THAT, the entire cost of the concrete curb and gutter parallel to and abutting the property and of
the same length as the property it abuts as differentiled from center island or median curbs be
assessed against the abutting property and the owners thereof, such concrete curb and gutter to be
referred to hereinafter as "property owner curb."
THAT, ninety percent (90%) of the entire paving cost, exclusive of the "property owner curb," be
assessed against all front abutting property and the owners thereof and against all side abutting
property and the owners thereof where the abutting property is zoned for commercial or manufacturing
purposes or where said side abutting property is zoned for residential purposes and is occupied by a
commercial or manufacturing usage. Front abutting property for assessment purposes is that along the
shorter side of a lot, and side abutting property is that along the longer side of a lot. The rate per
foot to the abutting- property as determined by the above cost distribution is to be referred to as the
"front foot rate."
1V.
THAT, sixty percent (60%) of the entire paving cost, exclusive of the "property owner curb," be
assessed against all side abutting property and the owners thereof where ,the side abutting property
is zoned for residential purposes, and if occupied, is occupied by a residential usage. The rate �,,er
foot to the abutting property as determined by the above cost distribution is to be referred to as the
"Side foot rate."
V
THAT, the method to be used on a paving project to determine the "front and side foot rates" and
property assessments as set forth above is as follows:
1. All streets of identical width are to be grouped together into a single Unit, and the
various individual streets of identical width shall be designated as Sub -units of their
particular Unit.
2. The "total project cost" of a Unit includes the total cost of the various items of work
contributed from all Sub -units of the Unit as bid plus five percent (5%) of said contract
cost for engineering.
3.
From the "total project cost" the "property owner curb" will be deducted at the rate establish-*
ed by the contractor's bid price per linear foot for concrete curb and gutter and/or concrete
gutter plus five percent (5%) engineering. ('Property owner curb" does not include that curb
and/or gutter along side and across alley returns nor all of the curb radii). If there is a
railway crossing in the Unit, the charges assessable directly to the railway company at bid
prices plus five percent (5%) will also be deducted.
4. The amount after making the above deductions will be terned the "cost excluding property owner
curb costs and railroad crossing costs" referred to herein as amount "A".
5. The "front foot rate" is amount "A" less 10% of amount "A" divided by the total footage of all
property abutting all Sub -units making up the entire Unit.
6. The "side foot rate" is 2/3, of the above rate.
7. Part of the total cost to be assessed against each parcel of property abutting the
improvements in each Unit will be determined by multiplying the abutting footage of each
parcel of property by either of the above rates or by a combination of the above rates,
whichever is applicable. This cost will be referred to herein as the "property owner paving
cost."
8. The total cost to be assessed against each parcel of property abutting the improvements in
each Unit is the sum of the "property owner paving cost" and the "property owner curb cost",
the latter being set forth in sub -paragraph (2) of this ParacTraph V and in Paragraph 11.
V1.
THAT, the above provisions do not apply to the distribution of the paving costs of streets and/or
avenues within new subdivisions or of the abutting half of the streets and/or avenues bordering new
subdivisions which are recorded in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance 1331, "New Subdivision

forth hereinbefore for the initial paving of streets that are not provided for in new subdivisions.
(See Paragraphs 11 through V.)

THAT, where the City Commission finds that extraordinary hardships may result from strict compliance
with this policy, the policy may be varied so that substantial justice may be done 'and the public
interest served, providing that such variation will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and
purpose of this policy.

the City Commis; -ion. This residence is owned by Glen S. Wigginto n and is under the rental management
of Mrs. Sneed. The claim is as follows:
Lubbock, Texas
January 23rd, 1956
City Secretary
Lubbock, Texas
I am Daisy Sneed, age 55, and reside at 1709 27th Street, Lubbock, Texas. I resided at 1709 27th Street,
Lubbock, Texas, for six (6) months immediately preceding the occurrence of the below stated damages. I
am divorced and have one dependent child. I am self-employed and an the owner of Daisy Sneed Real
Estate, Rentals and Property kanagement.
On January 12th, 1956, I rented a house owned by Glen S. Wigginton, who now resides at 1017 Vine Street,
Abilene, Texas, and his actual residence of such claimant for six (6) months immediately preceding the
occurence of such damages was at 3103 30th Street, Lubbock, Texas. This house is located at 3103 30th
Street, Lubbock, Texas, and was rented to a ivir. Cecil Holmes. 1 rented the hose for $110.00 per month
and Mr. Holmes has the first option to buy the home.
When the house was rented by Mr. Holmes, I overheard Mr. Holmes ask his cousin, a Nirs. Botts of
3112 22nd Street, Lubbock, Texas, to have the utilitys turned on January 13, 1956.
About 10:45 A.M., Mir. Botts called me January 13th, 1956, advising that his wife had called the
water department that morning asking -them to .turn the water on at the above address. The water
department said that someone had to be present at the house when the water was turned on. Mrs. Botts
told them she would be there at 10:30 A.N., for them to come then so the water could be turned on.
Pir. Botts said he got there early about 10:05 A.M. and the ho4e was flooded in the kitchen and
living room. The water was not running when Mr. Botts arrived but it appeared the water had been
running shortly before that same morning. We were in the house the day before and it was all right
then. We presumed the water had flooded through an open valve for an automatic washer connection.
The valve or hydrant on this washer installation was open and pointed in the dining room where it was
flooded. When Mr. Botts arrived the water had been turned off.
Just after talking to I"lr. Botts, his wife called and said she reported the accident to a "Irs.
Thigpen in the water dep ..rtirent . Nirs. Botts and I felt the City turned on the water and was
responsible for the damage. Later that same night I again talked to kirs. Botts and she said she had
gone by the house .about 11:45 A.M. and water had been tumed on. Mr. Botts had left the house open
and she supposed the city came back and again turned on the water.
I was mown in the water department on January 14th, 1956, and taling to one of the women who told me
that the water man had called in to her and said he had turned on the water but that the house was
locked and he turned the water back off again.
I am attaching hereto original statemc nt dated January 16th, 1956, from the Frenchway Rug Cleaners,
505 Avenue 0, Lubbock, Texas, itemizing their work done to repair the damages at the house located
3103 30th Street, Lubbock, Texas, reading as follows:
"Jan. 15 take-up & re -lay section of wet carpet $12.50
cleaning 378 ft. carpet - 30.25
TOTAL $42.75"
I am also submitting a claim for 415.00 payable to myself, I+'Irs. Daisy Sneed, for the inconvenience
and the time I spent in seeing about the damaged house. I feel that this is a reasonable amount due
to the time that I spent. I have made six trips to the house located at 3103 30th and have made two
trips to the City Hall. There will still be additional trips to be made in the future in order to
bring the matter to a conclusion.
Respectfully Submitted,
/s/ Daisy Sneed
After consideration of the above claim, motion was made by Commissioner Carpenter, seconded by
Commissioner Thomas, -motion carried, Layor Fro-tem Baker and Comnissioners Carpenter, Forrest and
Thomas voting Yea, none voting Nay, to authorize payment to Mrs. Sneed in the total amount of 042.75,

Extend the 32nd St. line south on Indiana to 42nd St., west to Louisville, north to 36th St., east to
Indiana and return by the same route.
Extend the 28th,,,jSt. line as follows; the line will not be changed until reaching 28th St. and Joliet,
then south on Joliet to 32nd St., west on 32nd St. to Orlando, south to 37t h St., west to Slide Road,
north to 34th St., east on 34th St. to Orlando where it will follow the same route to town.
Combine the 8th St. & Arnett Benson and the 4th St. & Arnett Benson-irito one line with 20 minute
service instead of 30 minutes. This can be accomplished by enlarging the loop on the end of the present
8th St. & Arnett Benson line.
Extend the 19th St. & Ellwood line two blocks further south at Indiana is the only change on this line.
The Hub Homes & Mexico line presently goes out and retu ms the same route. Change this line to follow
the present 4th St. & Arnett Benson line to 4th St. and Avenue U, then north to Baylor, east to Avenue
0, and follow the existing Hub Homes & Mexico route back to town.
The other extension of service is on the Carver heights (colored) line. Combine the present Carver
Heights line and the Cresthaven (colored) lines. The Carver Heights will be unchanged except to continue
out Railroad Avenue to 34th St., then east to Quirt Ave., then north to 34th St. and return. This will
result in service to Cresthaven all day instead of the three hour break in service in the middle of the
day as now exists.
These extensions of service will result in bus service in many areas not receiving bus service at the
present =time. Some of the additions that will have bus service within the additi6n or within four blocks
are: Hulin Sts., Lubbock View, Myrtle Slaton, Sunny Hill, Sunset Hts., College*Hts., Evans, Murryhill,
and Walden on the south and westside of the city, to the north; Hobert Jones, Canyon View, San Jose will
receive new service.
lou will notice on our monthly reports to the City that we are continuing to experience a Pcline in
riders. We feel that this is largely due to a shift in the population of the City to the south and west,
and also the increase in private passenger cars within the city. We are hopeful that this change in
service will result in an increase in patronage, because bus service will be offered to an estimated
20,000 people that do not now have service.
We are also requesting that service be eliminated on 15th St. Wetave recently conducted a Purvey and
found that an average of 167 passengers ride this line per day. This yields a gross revenue of 20.6
cents per mile. The expense of operation exllusive of office and administrative expense (which would not
be effected by the change) is 27.1 cents per mile. This results in a daily loss of $6.82 per day for
105 miles of operation.
We also are requesting discontinue all service at 7:00 P.M. daily and all service on Sunday. The
following is what our records show to be the result of the existing nigh service.

If we add the annual loss of $2,134.66 on the 15th St. line to the night and Sunday loss it totals
$20,420.74 per year. This is almost two thirds of the loss sustained by us in 1955.
We fell that the above changes are necessary for the continued operation of the Lubbock Bus Company.
We propose to stop the night and Sunday service immediately and begin operation of the new routing on
March 19, 1956. We are hopeful that the elimination of the service plus the increase in day time
service will result in a net profit for the Company this year.
Very truly yours,
LUBBOCK BUS COMPANY 1NC.
