The Honorable Mayor and
Commission Members
Colleyville, Texas
Gentlemen:
Attached is our proposed franchise and layout map for a water
system for your City. You will note that we have set up actual quantities
of pipe which we propose to install and that we have tentatively located
these lines. However, it is your option to shift the lines in any manner
you see fit. We feel that you know best where the future connections
are most likely to be.
In the event you approve this franchise and return it to us we will
have sixty days to accept it or reject it. During this time we must
obtain a. total of 200 connections at $200 each. Largely this will have
to be done by a committee appointed by you. However, we will furnish
whatever assistance we can in the matter. For instance we have an
arrangement with the Hurst State Bank whereby the connection fee can
be partially financed and paid out in monthly payments.
In any event we must have 200 paid up connections before we begin
construction. During this two month period certainly these could be obtained.
We would like to call to your attention the Johnson-Campbell Lumber
Company. This company builds unfinished houses in the six thousand
dollar class and sells them for very little down. You might get them in
your area if you can assist them in obtaining some land. However, in
case you can get them interested they should be encouraged to build on
large lots.
We are extremely sorry that we cannot offer you a better deal.
However, we believe that you should begin with a good system and that
is what we have laid out.
