Re, Proposed extension of Bethel
S~oo..~l Road, Coppell, Texas
Dear ]~r. $ackion:
The extension of the above referred to reed has been talked about for quite
some time. IrA Auzust, 1973, Baptist Foundation of Texas deeded a strip
of land S0 feet wide to the City of Coppell alanI the north adze of our
property for the extension of this road. This extends from Denton Tap
Road westward to where Bethel School Road turns back north. As you
call0 this is'paff; 0f the over-all plan to extend Bethel School Road over.
At the time the property was deeded) it was our understanding that this
~*otd would be cousts-ucted~ln the near future _~y Dallas County.. It was
also. our understandinf from the cornmtsitoner at that time that funds
were available for the construction of thio road! however, we* were told
later that these funds were used for another project,
I realiae that since you were elected commissioner you have been work-
ing tryinfl to fei this road completed and we know that this was included
in the last bond election that was turned down by the v6ters.
Since. it has been quite some time, since we deeded the rop~pp.A_~l~, to the City
of CoPPell ,ud~b road has not beau eonstrnctod we bye requested thati

We appreciate alt you have done in trying to get this road constructed and
we are still interested in this being dons. If you think ~omethilt_~ will bo
w~orke.d out in the near future then we will withdraw our request.for the
property to be deeded back, If you think it will be some time before Dallas
County and tho City of Coppell can work something out then we wilt expect
the property to be deeded back to l~ptiet Foundation of Texas,' Xf in the
future it is decided to construct this road we wilt be glad to cooperate with
tho city and the oouuty concerning the right or way of the proposed ,arrest,
We would like for this road to be included in the next bond election.
If ! can be o£ help in any way, please advise,
Yours very truly,
