WHEREAS, the original plat of the Hobgood Addition to the City
of Lubbock dedicated to the public a East-West Alley running completely
through the middle of said Block 1, 15 feet wide and 610 feet lonq; and,
WHEREN3, a replat of said Bloek 1, Hobgood Addition was approved on
the 3rd day of August, 1961, by the City Planning COmmission of the
City of Lubbock , Lubbock County, Texas, which provided an area for
utility lines and garbage collection qenerally alonq the whole South
line and part of the West line of said Block 1, and deliberately
omitted the previous alley running through the middle of said
block; and,
WHEREM:I, it has lonq been the contention of the C1 ty that a repla t
effectively vacates any dedications on an original plat inconsistent
therewith, it is nonetheless a question of law still subject to good
faith conjecture; and,

prospective purchaser desire to free this land from any such conjecture
and have requested the City to for.mally abandon that alley shown on
the original plat of said Block 1, Hobgood Addition which is not
shown on said replat, in order to clear up any possible title questions;
and,

and proper and that the Ea•t 585 feet of said alley as hereinafter
more particularly described, is no lonqer needed for street or alley
purposes; and,

to close, Tacate and abandon same for street and alley purposes; NOW
