APRIL 15, 1853 FILED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK, BASTROP COUNTY, WHEREIN

A. RUTHERFORD, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Joseph David Crawford of San Antonio, Texas,
and Frances Laura Welch of Pflugerville, Texas, property owners, ("Applicants")
requested the Mayor and the City Council of the City of Bastrop consider
a Correction Deed to correct an erroneous property description that
was incorrectly recorded for a tract of land conveyed from the Town
of Bastrop to Robert A. Rutherford of Bastrop, Texas, in a deed filed
on April 15, 1853 with the Bastrop County Clerk's office which appears
of record under Volume H, pages 661-662 for property generally located
at 701 Hwy. 95, or legally described as being ± 18.286 Acres
out of Blocks 106, 107, 114, 115, 128 129 and 130 (fraction); and
WHEREAS,
the City Council finds that it is in the public interest to approve
a requested `Correction Deed' and to authorize the legal description
to be corrected in the Bastrop County Records, thereby reflecting
the fact that the tract of land originally conveyed by the Town of
Bastrop to Robert A. Rutherford is bordered by "Austin Street"
instead of "Water Street," supported by the original description
contained in an ordinance adopted by the Mayor and Alderman of the
Common Council on April 15, 1853 (approximately).
NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BASTROP, TEXAS:

TX, be recorded in the Bastrop County Records to correct the legal
description on the tract of land originally conveyed by the Town of
Bastrop to Robert A. Rutherford by ordinance on April 15, 1853 (approximately)
to correctly reflect that Clay, Pitt and Madison Streets, East of
Main Street, are closed from Pine Street to Austin Street.
Part 2: That the
Mayor direct the City Secretary to record the Correction Deed with
the Bastrop County Clerk to effectuate the corrections herein approved.
Part 3: This ordinance
