Mayor, City of Lubbock,
Lubbock, Texas
Dear Bill:
Don L. Mitchell and I. Wylie Briscoe have pur-
chased Block 10, of the Merrill Addition, and
are going to build a warehouse on this block,
and for such purpose desire that the alley be
closed.
We have prepared what we deem an appropriate
order for this purpose and will appreciate your
presenting same to the Commission and having it
entered.
If there is any question about it, we would like
to be notified and have Mr. Briscoe and mr.
Mitchell appear before the Commission.
If this is not the kind of order desired in this
connection, we suggest you change it in any way
to effect the result desired by Mr. Briscoe and
Mr. Mitchell.

Very truly yours,

TO THE HONORABLE: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF LUBBOCK:
Now come Don L. Mitchell and I. Wylie Briscoe, and
by way of petition to close an alley would show:
Both of the petitioners live in the City of Lubbock,
Lubbock County, Texas.
They have recently purchased and are the owners of
all of Block 10, of the Merrill Addition to the City of
Lubbock. Running North and South through said Block 10 of
the Merrill Addition, is a 20 foot alley. None of said Block
10 is improved and said alley has never been actually opened
ana usea by the public. Petitioners purchased this vacant
property it the industrial location of the City of Lubbock
for the purpose of buildinj a warehouse and for other in-
dustrial uses. For their purposes of development, they need
to place their improvements in the center of the block and on
and across the present location of the alley. Their improve-
ments will materially increase the taxable property in the
City of Lubbock ana will add to the industrial development
and growth of the City. Petitioners are willing for the
utility service lines of sewer, water, lights, power and gas
to be placed across said premises and property at any con-
venient location.
';,herefore, petitioners pray that this Honorable Com-
mission grant this petition and enter its resolution and order
for closing said alley through Block 10 of the Merrill Ad-
dition to the City of Lubbock, subject only to the use of said
Block 10 by public service companies and agencies, and by the
City, by easement, to cross the same with service lines.
Respectfully submitted,
Petitioners
