To the HONORABLE MAYOR And COMMON COUNCIL Of The CITY Of SEATTLE, Gentleman--

We, the undersigned, your petitioners and taxpayers living on and along the line of that part of Depot Street hereinafter more particularly described, respectfully petition your honorable body and request that you lower the grade of Depot Street between Albert and Crawford Streets]] so as to make the same be a more equal or accessible grade. As it is graded at present between the last two named streets it containes a rising grade of sixteen per cent which renders it practically useless for purposes of trade, traffic or travel with wagons; and we further respectfully represent to your honorable body that during the winter season of the year, said street being of blue soap stone clay is impassible for wagons or teams; and we further most respectfully therefore request that you will regrade said Depot Street in conformity with the request of your petitioners so as to make the same of lighter and easier grade and that having so regraded the same that you plank a roadway over said street between said Albert and Crawford Streets of sixteen feet in width.

Respectfully submitted,
