", RE: Closing of alley"in Block 166 Town of La Porte, Texas Dear Mr. Westergren, This letter is to inform you of the La Porte City Council action taken last night concerning your request to close the alley in Block No. 166, City of La Porte, Texas. The La Porte City Council did approve your request. Ordinance No. 1612, which was drawn up for the closing of the alley in Block No. 166, does have a stipulation that complies with your request not to make payment for the closing of the street until closing time. Section 3 of the Ordinance states "the applicant shall have 60 days from the effective date hereof to pay the City of La Porte in certified funds in the sum of $12,379.50 as consideration hereunder." I would also make note that if the payment to the City of La Porte is not make within 60 days from the effective date, which is October 10, 1988 the Ordinance will then be null and void. A certified copy of the Ordinance will be sent to you upon receipt of funds in the amount of $12,379.00.
