CHARLES DIPPEL <br /> <br />SEARS AND BURNS <br />ATTORNEYS AT LAW <br />SUITE 823 <br />2 HOUSTON CENTER <br />HOUSTON, TEXAS 77002 <br />August 30, 1974 <br />Honorable Mayor and City <br />of the City of La Porte, <br />Post Office Box 1115 <br />La Porte, Texas 77571 <br />• <br />Gentlemen: <br />Commissioners <br />Texas <br />TELEPHONE <br />(713) 654-4454 <br />Re: No. 952,376 in the District <br />Court of Harris County, Texas, <br />164th Judicial District - <br />City of ha Porte v. Southern <br />Paci'fi'c Transportation Company, <br />et al. <br />The Stipulation of Settlement approved by Ordinance <br />No. 1001 was-filed and judgment entered in accordance therewith <br />on August 30, 1974. The Stipulation forms a part of the judg- <br />ment and the terms of the settlement are now final and en- <br />forceable. <br />This barings to completion the contract of employment <br />between the City and this law firm (evidenced by Ordinance No. <br />957, passed May 23, 1973 and accepted on May 26, 1973) and <br />terminates the firm's services as Special Counsel for the City <br />of La Porte in this matter. This eminently satisfactory settle- <br />ment has been accomplished in great measure because of the steady <br />determination of the Mayor and each member of the Commission to <br />protect the interests of th.e citizens of La Porte and because <br />of the remarkable degree of attention given to this case and <br />to its ultimate solution by the Mayor and by the members of <br />the governing body. The assistance of City Attorney Knox <br />Askins has been unflagging and invaluable from the outset, <br />and I have not requested any help from him or from anyone else <br />connected with the City, which I did not promptly receive. <br />• <br />
