the vicinity of Clear Creek -and Dixie'Farm'Road in Pearland, petition
your Honorable Body to terminate and cancel the permit issued to the
parties operating the rifle range.in the vicinity of Clear Creek and
Dixie Farm Road. We feel that the operation of this rifle range cons-
titutes a nuisance and ;.s highly disturbing to the people of the area.
It is also dangerous to the area and we feel that there is a definite
likehood that some serious injury could result in the continued operation
of their rifle range.
We have no personal feeling against any member of the Rifle Club,
but feel it would be to the best interest of the general public
if this rifle range were removed to a more remote location.
We, therefore, petition you that this permit issued to the Rifle
Club be revoked and express our sincere gratitude for your favorable
