Motion carried: This being a called meeting of the City Council, November 12, 1926.
Signed, L. O. Neal
Mayor
Attest: L. Fay Hughes,
Secretary.
Attached application follows:
To the Mayor and City Council,
City of Wylie.
Gentlemen:
We are handing you herewith our application for a permit from your
honorable body to grant us the privilege of removing a frame structure within the City
fire limits, and to move within the City fire limits a frame structure now situated along
the Santa Fe right of way, and known as this Company's Ice. Vault.
The frame structure now located on Lots 11 and 12, Block 2, facing
Ballard street, we desire to move on the back of same lot, and face building north, facing
street running along the side of the present lot; at the same time leaving the west line of
this building 65 feet from the east line of the Church building on the adjoining property
across an alley. We are informed hat a distance of 65 feet does not jeopardize the fire risk
on neighboring buildings.
We further desire to move our Ice Vault from the Railroad right of way to
the location now occupied by the above named building facing Ballard street. We are
informed by Insurance Companies that Ice Vaults are one of their best risks, and maintain
the least fire hazards of any building known. We do not believe that by the removal of
this building we would jeopardize any insurance risks on the neighboring buildings in
that section of the town.
We will keep the above building in good repair, and maintain the premises
so that they will compare favorably with the other buildings in that part of the town.
The reason for this request to you is to enable us to render better service to
the Public in the maintenance of our Ice business, and to benefit the Public thereby.
Sincerely trusting that you will give this application your kindest
consideration, and will grant a permit for the requests, spreading one copy of the permit
upon your minutes, and giving us one copy for our files, and thanking you for same, we
are
Yours very truly,
Southern Properties, Inc.
