To the Hon. City Council City of Seattle

Gentlemen -

Complaint having been made to the Board of the great number of vendors of lunches, fruits, candies, cigars and [meals?] of various kinds occupying the streets and sidewalks of this city, the License Collector was addressed as to their legitimate standing.

His reply accompanies this letter to you.

The Board would say that in their opinion the proceeds of these stands interferes with the legitimate business of permanent stores and asks your consideration of the subject.
