12-20b-16 THE STATE OF TEXAS
COUNTY OF LUBBOCK
WRITTEN NOTICE OF CLAIM
To the CITY OF LUBBOCK, a Municipal Corporation:
Comes now NEIL DeLAVAN,, hereinafter referred to as "Claimant", and gives the CITY OF
LUBBOCK written notice of the following claim and the facts upon which it is based, as
follows:
F.
Cliamant claims and demands the possession of the improvements and the premises to
which they were removed from that portion of the Southeast Quarter (SE/4) of Section
Seven M , Block "B", Lubbock County, Texas, sold by N. R. Cogburn and wife, Artie
Cogburn, to the CITY OF LUBBOCK, and more particularly described in written contract be-
tween and among said CITY OF LUBBOCK,, therein referred to as "City"; said N. R. Cogburn and
wife, Artie Cogburn, therein referred to as "Sellers"; and Neil DeLavan, therein referred
to as "Lessee". Claimant claims and demands such possession of such premises and improve-
ments in the condition they were agreed to have been delivered to him by said CITY OF LUBBOCK.
Furthermore, this Claimant claims and demands- $66.67 per day for each and every day
that such possession has bean and will be denied him, from and after the expiration of 60
days from and after February 10, 1953, the last mentioned date being the date said Claimant
delivered possession of said premises sold to the City of Lubbock, by said N. R. Cogburn and
wife, Artie Cogburn, to the City of Lubbock, as above mentioned. This Claim is based
upon said above mentioned written contrqct; and also upon the fact that regardless -of what-
ever elusive and evasive language may have been :employed by the City of Lubbock in the
preparation of said written contract, and regardless of whatever may have motivated the use
of such lanuage, still the actual agreement between the City of Lubbock and this Claimant
was that the City would deliver the premises and improvements to Claimant in the condition
specified within the said 60-day period from February 10, 1953.
The above and foregoing should be sufficient to lay the predicate for filing of law
suit, assuming such predicate to be necessary, but to avoid such litigation, if possible,
and to see justice done, this Claimant asks you to read, through the- eyes of such ]Lessee ,
Paragraphs 3(c) and 6 of the above mentioned written contract, particularly, and then the
rest of the written contract, and see if you don't conclude, as a fair -mimed person, that
what this 'Lessee agreed to do was to deliver possession within 10 days from request there-
for by the City 41gine er ( which he did), and the City was to return the improvements at the
new location in the condition specified within 60 days (which it has not done); otherwise
the 60-day povision has absolutely no significance whatsoever.
Bear inn md, also, that the $4,000.00 paid this Claimant pursuant to said Paragraph was
for only two average months' profits, as instructed by the City Engineering Department. +he
City acce ted said figure and included same in the said written contract which it prepared.
The City engineering Department upon being queried by Claimant as to what would happen if
said improvements were not so returned to him within the 60-day period, assured Claimant,
simultaneously with Claimant's signing said written contract, that they would be so returned
within the 60-day period, and that the City would see to it that there would be provision made
to retain from the payment to the Contractor a sum sufficient to pay this Claimant (Lessee)
"his $67.00 per day" for each and every day's delay over and above the 60-day period. At
the same time Claimant (Lessee) was assured that the only purpose in putting in the written
contract any such lanuage as "holding the City harmless, etc.", was on account of the
possible claims of any Juests occupying the tourist court facilities or Claimant's sub-lesses.
Bear in mind that the only negotiations inducing this Claimant (Lessee) to surrender
his possession of the premises he had under lease were had between him and the City. No
amount of involving other parties is going to change that.
No amount of language in said written contract, no matter how much ingenuity may have
been employed, can change the plain fact that this*hole business was instigated by the City;
and no matter of stratagems to shift responsibility from the City, whatever forms they take,
are going to change the fact that this Claimant has done what he agreed to do - to let the
City have possession of the premises above mentioned within 10 days after request therefor
from the City Engineer; but that the City has not dome what it agreed to do - deliver the
improvements at the new location back to this Claimant within the 60-day period in the
condition specified.
. WHEREFORE, this Claimant claims and demands the immediate possession of the above
mentioned premises and improvements in the condition specified, and $66.67 per day for each
and every day that he shall have been withheld this possession over and above the 60-day
period from and after February 10, 1953.
