MEMORANDUM,Inter OfficeIJ
TO: John L. Scott, Right of Way Department Date May 18, 1959
FROM: Vaughn E. Wilson, City Attorney
3UB.TECT: Power Line Easement, Fort Worth and Denver Railway Company for 69KV
Line along the West line of Burlington Industrial District No. 3 from 50th
Street to 58th Street.
Your memo implies that a part of the right of way covered by the attached
electric transmission line license, may be involved in the dispute between the
railroad, the radio station and possibly others concerning whether this property
remains a county road or was in fact closed by a plat the Planning and Zoning
Commission, approved for the railroad.
.Apparently the railroad claims ownership of the fee title to this property in
which event they would have the right to grant the license. Should this right of
way be involved in litigation and turned out to be a roadway opened by the Com-
missioners Court, in either event I believe we would be entitled to construct this
power line at the described location.
This license provides, as all licenses do that the power line will be .removed
by the City .at its cost should the licensor require that this be done. I do not fore-
see any difficulty at this time but should it occur, I think Mr. Frank Posey should
consider the cost of such a change, as compared with the cost of condemning the
right of way for the power line use at the location shown on the exhibit attached to
the license.
I am also attaching resolution for the Mayor which you requested.
