TO THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE GREETING: We, The undersigned property owners on Dexter Street, respectfully petition that a re-survey be made on said Street from Depot to Republican, for the reason that we believe the cut between John and Harrison Streets to be unnecessarily deep, and the fill at Harrison too great.
