MARY'S CH 816 Park Avenue La Porte, Texas 77577.-_., St. Mary's Church has requested the City of La .Porte to vacate, abandon and close that portion of Katherine Avenue lying and being situated within the property owned by St. Mary's Church.

If any of the utilities or the City Public Works Department have objections, or requires relocation of lines, this would have to be done at the sole expense of the Church. Likewise, it is possible that St. Mary's Church may have to dedicate certain substitute easements to some of the utilities. (2) The City of La Porte will require St. Mary's Church, at its expense, to deliver a right-of-way Deed to the City of La Porte, dedicating to the City of. La Porte, for public use, a street right-of-way, four hundred feet (400') in length, which would be an easterly extension of -Bayshore Drive, four hundred feet (400'), to the intersection with South Kansas Street. (3) The City of La Porte would expect St. Mary's Church to pay for all of the materials necessary to improve this 400-foot portion of Bayshore Drive with culvert, lime- stone base, and an asphalt topping, inasmuch as the portion of Katherine Avenue being closed is improved on this basis. An engineer's estimate of the cost of this material is attached to this .letter, and totals • $6,620.00. The City of La Porte will furnish all necessary labor to construct the street. ~n~~?
