Tillery, Ernest Millican, Jr., W. H. Fuller, and J. S. Anderson. Also present were R. W. Fuller of Euless and C. H. McNeese of Hurst. The specific purpose of the meeting was to consider a proposal by the Hurst Chamber of Commerce whereby the cities of Hurst and Euless would cooperate in inducing the City of Fort Worth to withdraw their city limits from their present location on Pipeline Road to a point further south, possibly the Trinity River, and thence to the airport. In discussing the matter Mr. Fuller and Mr. McNeese informed the council that various industrial firms are interested in locating in the area involved and in view of this fact the City of Fort Worth has indicated a willingness to alter their lines, as indicated above, thus making the area available for Hurst or Euless corporate action. However, it was made plain that the City of Fort Worth would not make such adjustments unless the cities of Hurst and Euless agreed in writing that neither would make any effort to annex any part of the area involved except by agreement of both cities. After due discussion, Ernest Millican, Jr., moved that the Council authorize Mayor Payton to arrange and sign a statement for the City of Euless, assuring the City of Fort Worth that the City of Euless would cooperate in the project as outlined above, providing a similar agreement is approved by the City of Hurst. Exact copies of agreements signed by both c i t i e s are f i l e d here for record. The motion was seconded by W. H. Fuller and the vote was unanimously i n favor. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. /s/ J. S. Anderson Secretary /s/ Jimmy C. Pavton Mayor
