Dear Sir:
Sc~etime ago the University purchamed certain property off Schmitz
Street, Mingo Road and Willis Street -- this property being part
of the R. M. Evers, et al, est&te; W. E. Willis, Jr , Etux;
J A. Ellis; and Grover Graham, et al.
Sines Willis Street splits part of this property and dead ends on
the rest of thru University property (Golf Course), we would like
to recluest that the City's utility poles now along this street be
taken down and the street officially colosed. The light poles on
this strmet formerly served the Willis House at 1301 Willis Street,
the Graham house at 1205 Willis Street, the Graham rock house, and
the small house at 1205 Mingo Road. All of these houses are being
sold and diamantled.
We shall appreciate your sul~nitting to the City Council this matter
in or~er that this street may be officially closed and we may pro-
ceed to fence it in and level off the grounds
Thanking you for your cooperation, we are
Respectfully yours,
TEXAS WC~ ' S UNIVERSITY
