Mayor and City Commission City Ha.ll Lubbock, Texas Dear Sirs: August 24, 1948 The Lubbock Boys' Club, Inc. through its Board of Direotors is desirous of you that you close the alley between blocks 8 and 9 of the southside addi-tion to the City of Lubbook in Lubbock County Texas. We make this request so that we might construct an indoor swimming pool and oonneot it to Our present building which is located on lots 9, 10, and 11 in block 8 ·of the southside addition in the City of Lubbock, The ~imming pool will be immediately behind the present building on block 9. The Lubbock Boys' Club, Inc. now owns all of blocks 8 and 9, purchasing the same'from the Lubbock Independent School District in 1946. All utili ties have been removed from this alley with the exeeption'of the gas line owned by the West Texas Gas Co. They have been contacted and a satisfactory arrange@ent has been made with the West Texas Gas Company ~or the removal of their line from this alley. The City and the Utilities Company removed their power lines from the alley in 1944 and the Lubbock Boys' Club has been using this entire block for a playground area. Since 1940, to .our .knawle.dge, • this alley has not ever been graded, how long before this time we are not able to state. The ,,,g;arbage department has never used the alley for its oolleotions. At pre-sent time, and since the Club was opened in 1944, all refuge from the Club has been picked up by the gar-bage department from the 24th street side of the Club.
