To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Seattle: The undersigned your petitioners respectfully represent to your Honorable Body; that the bridge across the creek on Lincoln street North of Sixth street, in Pontius Addition to the City of Seattle, is in a broken down and ruinous condition, and utterly unsafe for travel; that there is great danger; that, in its present condition, horses will break through the same and thus the City will be put to great expense and damage; that it is necessary, owing to the condition of said bridge as aforesaid, for loaded wagons to go on other streets in order to avoid crossing said bridge, and the traveling pubic is thus put to great inconvenience. Wherefore your petitioners pray that said bridge be immediately removed and in lieu thereof, a good and substantial bridge be built And your petitioners will ever pray.
