211 COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE Jun 17 1887 necessary therefore with his objections to said Ordinance in writing as follows viz: To the Common Council of the City of Seattle. Gentlemen: On June 13th 1887 at a regular meeting you passed an ordinance entitled "An Ordinance to widen, extend, and establish Second Street in the City of Seattle W T , and to provide for the condemnation of real estate necessary therefor". Under the above ordinance Second Street is widened 24 feet of 12 feet in width from Depot Street to Mill Street. From Mill Street theordinance provides Second Street shall be extended directly continuous of and parallel of Second Street to a point near Plummer Street on Grant Street, the same width of 90 feet. This would undoubtedly present a fine appearance and be of great importance from a business stand point, but numerous objection are urged against the ordinance. The widening of Second Street from Depot Street to Mill Street is not very expensive and the burden would be comparatively light; and be worth a great deal more than the outlay. The continuation and extension of Second Street diagonally across business blocks, and valuable properties and improvements is a very expensive affair and it is a serious question whether the advantages derived from the Street being so extended would at all compare with the enormous expense. Second Street when widened as provided in the Ordinance to Mill may be made continuous with South Third Street by a condemning only a small piece of property at a conparative small expense, and without any destruction fo business property othere than a little corner Second amd Third Streets may this be run into one and widen South Third Street to 90 feet to say King St run from King Street to the aforsaid point in Grant St by going either by way of established streets or else diagonally across blocks and condemn the necessary
