RE: Paving of "M" street right of way between Broadway and
First street, La Porte, Texas
Dear Mr. Albrecht:
By this letter Entex, A Division of Ark1a, Inc. authorizes the
City of La Porte to pave over the two existing gas lines in
this portion of "M" street.
This is contingent upon the City of La Porte granting an
easement to Entex for any maintenance that may become necessary
in the future. A 16' easement with both lines in the approximate
center will be sufficient.
As discussed with Mr. Hoza, another requirement will be that no
structures of any kind are to be erected on or over this easement.
