City of Seattle Mayor's Office J T Ronald, mayor City Hall Seattle Washington Jan 1st, 1894 To the City Council: Gentlemen: In as much as the Board of Public Works has referred to you the question as to when they shall commence work upon the Front Street sewer, I most respectful wish to suggest that now is, in my opinion, the most available time for the wor. I am not mindful of the fat that the tearing up of the street at this time will inconvenience the business men thereon, but we should consider that the next two months are going to be severe ones, from many standpoints, for the business men. They have credited vast sums. The laborers of the city need the employment to earn the money to pay these bills. The inconvenience to the business men on Front and Commercial Streets will be less now than it will do more good, so far as filling wants and satisfying discontent, is concerned, than $2.00 expanded in the coming summer. I therefore earnestly recommend that you instruct the Board of Publi works immediately to proceed with the construction of the sewer on Front and Commercial Streets. Very Respectfully J T Ronald, mayor
