City agrees to pay grantors damages as recorded on Page 233,
Volume 7, I4:inute Records of the City Commission Regular Meeting,
November 27. 1946.
It is understood and agreed that the prime consideration for
this conveyance is the widening of 19th Street in Lubbock, Texas
and the use of the property here conveyed b� the City for such
purpose. Therefore, it is understood and agreed between the
parties hereto that the widening of 19th Street will be accom-
plished in the near future by the actual opening of such addi-
tional width; that if the widening of such street has not been
accomplished within five ( 5 ) years from the date of this deed,
then the property hereinabove described will ipso facto revert
to the grantors, their heirs or assigns, upon the tender to
the City of Lubbock, the amount of damages theretofore actually
paid to grantors as hereinabove provided for; and that the City
of Lubbock will cause to be executed and delivered such necess-
ary instruments as may be appropriate in the premises, if any
are required. This is here deemed to be a self executing rever-
sion for the breach of a condition subsequent, namely the fail-
ure of the City to accomplish the widening of 19th Street as
now projected wiUiin five ( 5 ) years from this deed upon the tender
and return of damages paid to the grantors. By accomplishing
the widening of 19th Street is meant, for the purposes of this
reversion, that the distance from kvenue 4 to College Avenue
will have been actually opened to the use by the public as a
street, widened in accordance with the present plan. Comple-
tion of the physical work of paving and gutters is not essential,
but the actual appropriation of the property by the public for
street purposes, together with removal of present private struc-
tures, is necessary.
And it is further agreed that the said George E. Benson and
S. C. Arnett, Jr., in consideration of the benefits above set
out, will forthwith remove from the property above described,
such fences, buildings, and other obstructions as may be found
uponsaid property.
TO HAVE kM TO HOLD FOREV'�'R, the above described premises,
together with all a -id singular, the rights and hereditaments
thereunto in any :vise belonging unto the said City of Lubbock
and its assigns.
And we hereby bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and admins-
trators to forever warrant and defend the rights and title to said
premises unto the said City of Lubbock against every person whomso-
ever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof.
