Seattle, Oct. 25th 1892

To the Honorable, the Board of Public Works.

Gentlemen, The undersigned citizens and taxpayers respectfully ask You Hon. Body to cause the erection of an arc-light on the corner of Front Street and Wall streets. As the sidewalk in that vicinity is neither in conformity with Front Street nor Wall street it is very inconvenient for those who patronise the stores located there, as well as the public at large. Taking in consideration that the property which would be benefited by this improvement is as high assessed as in other localities where these arc-lights have been in use for some time, we hope Your Hon. Body will see the justness of our prayer.
