pays his fine, and the property is still an eye-sore. He further
stated that he had had six different people contact him regarding
these properties. He had pictures taken of the properties, and
passed them around. The two locations are 501 W. Tyler and 301
N. 6th, belonging to Dolphus Merritt. The Commission was of the
opinion that these properties were health hazards, fire hazards,
and other hazards. There was some discussion about the possibility
of condemning the property. The Administrator was of the opinion
that we could not condemn the property.
It was determined that the Council asked that the ordinance be
inforced. The individual had been brought to court, paid his fine,
and then let go. The ordinance states that each day is a separate
offense, but it is not enforced. The violations still continue.
The Commission wants the mess cleaned up.

Re: Alley in Block 690, Town of La Porte,
Harris County, Texas
Gentlemen:
My wife and I are the owners of Lots 1 through 16, Block 690,
Town of La Porte, which is the West one-half (W.1/2) of the
Block. The East orie-half (E.l/2) of the Block, Lots 17
through 32, is owned by Mr. Ronnie 5t. Clair.
We would like to request the City of La Porte to close the
alley in this block.
• I enclose my check for $100.00 payable to the City of La Porte,
for application fee, and I enclose a xerox copy of my Deed
and Title Policy.
I am requesting Mr. St. Clair to also furnish a copy of his
Deed and Title Policy, and Mr. St. Clair and I have entered
into an agreement, by which he has agreed that I may have all
of the sixteen feet (16') of the alley if it is closed. He
does not care to have any of the alley, and is willing to
waive all rights. I will pay all expenses for the closing
of the alley.
I have a lien on the property to Bayshore National Bank of
La Porte, and they have signed this letter to indicate their
agreement to the alley being closed.
Mr. St. Clair has signed this letter to indicate his agree-
ment to the closing of the alley.
Please advise me what further steps are necessary.
Yours ver t my r'`

Dear Mayor Meza:
•
Tara
cc~~rv ~ucc
The 1979 Harris County capital improvements bond program is up for voter
approval on May 22. Not only is this the largest bond issue in recent
memory, it is also the most important. Important because every area of
Harris County needs better roads, improved flood control, more parks,
and recreational and public service facilities.
Since you and your fellow members of City Council are highly respected
• by your constituents, the Commissioners and 1 would appreciate it very
much if you would consider endorsing all the bond propositions up for
voter approval.
None of the propositions will require an increase in county taxes.
That was our number one priority when this program was being planned by
the community.
For your convenience, I've enclosed a sample resolution. Please don't
hesitate to give me a call at 221-6666 should you have any questions.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
. ~'"'
