To His Honor the Mayor and Common Council, of the City of Seattle, The undersigned citizens of said City, believing that it would be of very great and lasting advantage to the commercial interest, as well as to the city at large, that a steet 150 feet wide be laid out by the city for a public highway, commencing on the West Side of Commercial Street, at or near the intersection of Brunswick and Commercial Streets, thence running West to a point within 200 feet of the R.R. Avenue, thence Westerly parallel with R.R. Ave. to the City limits. And you petitioners will ever pray: A MacKintosh Abram Barker John Leary W P Boyd Geo B Adair L Surun Isaac Dobson Foklas Singerman J B MacDougall E B Burwell Geo F Raymond J K Basye Doheny P Manum W Miller Drumond & Cheasty J M Lang & Co A E Giering

Seattle Wash, Dec 20, 1893 To the Mayor and Council of the City of Seattle Gentlemen:- We the undersigned residents of the City of Seattle, respectfully but earnestly remonstrate against the adoption by your honorable body, of any plan for constructing the proposed sewer on Front and Commercial Streets, that will require the cessation of operationof the Front Street Cable Company's cars on said streets. In our opinion, such stoppage would be an injustice to the owners of said car line, to its patrons (many of whomhave no other convenient means of reaching the business part of the City), and to those engaged in business on Front and Commercial streets.
