I I I West Oso Independent School District OFFICil OF THE SUPERli'lTENDENT 5050 RClcl~ford Street Corpus Christi, T eXae. 78415 February 10, 1969 Eon. ~llis Serur ~ayor, San harcos P.O. Box 725 San Marcos, Texas 78666 De ar ~\'Jr. fJiU.yor: Sometime in the fall of 1967 1 wrote a letter addressed to you and the [lonorable City Council of San Narcos requesting your candid consider- ation of the proposition to change the present name of Fredericksburg Street to Peter Garza street. I" your acknowledging letter of Septe!;]- ber, 1967, you acivised me tImt I would be notified of the action of the Council after due consideration of my re~uest. ~iince I bave not heard, I thought I would bring up the subject once more. Jls state6 in my previous letter, the changing of Fredericksburg Street to .Peter Garza Street would not only honor the memory of a young man, Corporal Peter Garza, who died while in the armed services of his land during Viorld i'ar II hut also his father, Peter Garza, who as a very old resident of the city has been a steadying influence for young and old. His family has made modest but steady contributions to the city in the areas of education, athletics and politics, as well as in the overall activities benefitting the city welfare and progress. It was also poj.nted out in the previous letter that the request for a d,ange in the name of a street is not without precedent as for example, ~dward Gary Street and LBJ Drive and a few others named for sons of San i'~arcos . If in the process of considering the above request tbere sbould be any further information desired by the City and Council and you, Hr. Hayor, I shall be most happy to furnish whaj>ever may be requested. In behalf of the Garza family I wish GO express our appreciation to the Honorable Mayor and City Council for the consideration given to the request. vie trust that it will be studieQ in a favorable light and that the decision shall be comensurate with the consideration. I hereby tender my anticipated thanks for adviSing me of your decision at your earliest convinience.
