La Porte, Texas.
June 2nd, 1975•
To The Honerable MAYOR and THE LA PORTE CITY COUNCIL;
Gentlemen I sincerely ask that this Body of Men assembled here to
represent our city Of La Porte, please consider the Sanitation Ordinance,
which is Ordinance no. 716 and passed on May 17th, 1965.
This Ordinance in my opion cannot be lived up too without hurting
the future growth of our City, as it is now written.
I cannot blieve that anyone desireing to build homes for sale or
future Bossiness can or will bu~ vacant lots within the City limits under
the terms that this Ordinance n w contains, if the Purchaser was aware of
the wording of this Ordinance.
I do beleive that upon any fertile land that grass and weeds will grow
and cannot be keep to a height of _Q inches, nor do I beleive that grass or weeds
should be kep~C too any such absorbed lenght.
I also beleive that if this Ordinance is kept on the records as it is now
that every lot within the City limits should have to be kept up to the Ordinance.
I know that every man on this Council will admit that in the ten years
this Ordinance has been on our records in the City Hall that not one year has
it been enforced, sothere fore this Ordinance is of no use if not enforced &
should be enforced mn the full or taken out completely.
I ~nnot beleive that there is anyrone on this Council that wants to hurt
the City were we live, nor do I beleive there is any parson here that will say
this Ordinance as now written has been kept.
Flom reading the Ordinance very carefully I have become convinced that
this Body of Men will throw out this Ordinance completely.
I have gone over only a few streets of La Porte last week and have made
a few pictures,.there are over 1600 lots that have weeds and grass over 3 feet
high now and I did not cover but a very small part of our City, I also found
that there are marry sections of the Alleys and the sides of many streets that
need cutting if this Ordinance is to be enforced, why does the City hold itself
free of the obligation of keeping the alleys & streets to the same standards t
that they require of the Citizens? ,~
Thanking you for your time and patience in allowing"~'~his time,
Yours truly;
Bi 1 Jone .

I have here three pictures I would like for you to look at.
no.l is from San Jacinto looking east toward the Mayors rent houses.
no. 2 is the north ~ of block 23 which the city has just cut.
no.3 is the south a of the same block in picture no. 2 (Block 23).
From the above information I cannot sea how this City Council can say that
the ordinance No.716 is any good and since it has Weser bean enforced in
the 20 years it has been an ordinance, I am asking the City to remove same from
the records not to try tt~ enforce it.
If the above ordinance is enforced it would only hurt the city as far
as any developing the arcant lots of the sale of lots for any Huildir to use.
I feel that to keep the ordinANCE IN FORCE would be a real bu+~den upon the
property owners as the cost of cutting would be prohibiting,
At the rate the City has set in this ordinance for cutting as stated ;
would cost for cutting a city block X800.00 for just one tisae Plus the additional
of recording & releasing the lain when filed, this does not include the
additional cost of cutting 3 or 4 times a year. (which could be as much as
X3200.00).
• I would like to hear from any member of this Council that feel this is
a.good ordinance, one that would cost a property owner so much money each year
to just keep his property mowed. Not counting taxes. I trust that you will
remove this ordinance from the records.
Respectfully Yours;

La Porte, Texas 77571
Dear Gentlemen and Mrs. Cline:
i
RESIDENCE
AC 713/471/5527
This letter is to request that the City of La Porte extend
domestic sanitary sewer service to the location of the new
Chemlime Plant, on the north portion of Outlot 1, NEBRASKA
SYNDICATE Subdivision, in La Porte, which is near the
intersection of Crest Lane~and North 16th Street.
The extension of a domestic sanitary sewer line to this
area of La Porte, would also serve Tex-A-Mation Engineering,
Inc.; I.C.A. Property; Force, Inc.; and the La Porte Volunteer
Firemen facilities.
•
I have contacted some of these owners, and will contact the
others, to discuss financial participation by them, in this
project.
I would like to point out that we want sanitary sewer service
for domestic use only. The Chemlime Plant will have three
rest rooms. If we cannot hook onto-City of La Porte sanitary
sewer, it will be necessary for us to construct a sewage
treatment facility. This is required by the Texas Water
Quality Board. They will not allow us to use a septic tank.
In .addition to eliminating a sewage treatment facility on. the
Chemlime property, the construction of a sanitary sewer serv-
ice to this area of La Porte would also eliminate several
existing septic tank facilities, which would obviously be
beneficial to the health of the area.
We would appreciate the City Commission authorizing the City
Engineer to make a feasibility study of the construction of a
sewer line to this area.
Yours very truly,
•
FRED E. WESTERGREN, JR.

Gentlemen and Mrs. Cline:
Please consider this letter as our application to the City of
La Porte, to furnish city water to the new Chemlime Plant, on
the North portion of Outlot 1, NEBRASKA SYNDICATE Subdivision,
in La Porte. This plant will soon be under construction.
The projected needs of Chemlime Corporation are 100,000 gallons
of water per day. However, this water could be drawn at hours
specified by the City, in low-load periods, such as 12:00 mid-
night to 3:00 A.M., for instance. The Plant will be constructed
with a dike and a reservoir, for storage of 3,000,000 gallons of
water. The dike and reservoir will be designed to catch rain
water and other surface water, and store it.
We respectfully request that the City Commission authorize the
City Engineer to conduct a feasibility study, to determine if
the City of La Porte has adequate resources to furnish this
water, without unduly affecting the basic water supply for the
citizens of La Porte. We wish to avoid drilling our own well,
which would draw from the same water table as the existing
City of La Porte wells.
We would appreciate an
on this request, as we
an early date, during
early decision from the City of La Porte
are most anxious to begin construction ai
the summer season.
Yours very truly,
FRED E. WESTERGREN, JR.

SUBJECT: Renting La Porte Municipal Pool for Private Parties.
In the past the City of La Porte has been renting the La Porte Municipal
Swimming Pool to private parties for $10.00 per lZ hrs for ZO persons. It is

of La Porte paying for 2 lifeguards. This recommendation is due to the cost
of operating the pool as listed below.
2 Lifeguards @ 2.55 (straight-time) for 1~ hours = $ 7.65
15~~ Chlorine @ .16 per pound = 2.40
Cost to operate the outside lights for 12 hours = 2.00

Dear Mayor Thomas:
On behalf of the Texas Department of Public Safety Motor Vehicle Theft
Service, I would like to take the opportunity to express our appreciation
to your fine Police Department, Chief H. F. Freeman, Jr., Detectives
Ben Green, and Jerry Powell for their excellent work and assistance in
finding and recovering a stolen house trailer in Huntsville, Walker
County area. Without their aid I feel recovery would. have been impossible.
It is gratifying to know your Department and men are dedicated and. would
give of their time and. yours in the essence of law enforcement beyond
your city limits.
If we can be of any assistance to you or your city in the future, please
feel free to call on us.
Sincerely yours,
