Seattle, Wash. September 15th. 1892

To The Board of Public Works, City of Seattle.

Gentlemen:-

We, the undersigned property owners, having property fronting on Fourteenth Street near Marion Street, would respectfully petition your Honorable Body to cause the sewer, now laid on Fourteenth Street as far South as Madison Street, to be extended on Fourteenth Street to the South line of Marion Street. We are informed by the City Engineer that the extension herein asked for is in conformity with the general sewerage plan of the City. If this petition is granted, we would request that the work be done at the earliest possible time, as the houses that are now being built upon some of the lots owned by us, will require sewer connection within the next thirty days. If this petition be not granted, it will necessitate the running of a private sewer over two hundred feet.

very respectfully.

To Board of Public Works

Sir: Gentlemen: I find the facts set forth in the petition to be true. The 14th St. Sewer is intended to end at 60 ft South of Marion St, so that if any now be built it would be better to complete this end of the systemn. I estimate the cost of such proposed improvement as follows:

Very respectfull R. H. Thomson City Engr
