Seattle May 12th 1892 To the Honorable Board of Public Works of the City of Seattle:-

We the undersigned owners, tax payers, and residents, of and in the neighborhood of B Street in the 4th Precinct of the First Ward of this City, humbly petition your Hon Body to open said Street B from 12th Street to Grant Street Bridge and have it made passable for foot passengers and teams: at the city's expense:-

We would call the attention of your Hon body to the following facts:-

The said B Street has a bridge connecting 10th Street with Grant Street Bridge and is the only public connection between Dearborn Street and the Bayview Brewery and necessarily used greatly as a connecting point with the Grant Street Electric Railway, and if this petition is granted will be a most convenient inlet and outlet for all persons between the said points as far up as 14th Street.

12th Street is planked to B and would make a most desirable connection. For these and many other urgent reasons we humbly request the granting of this petition E [H?] Smith John H. Park. W. E. Hodder W B Phillips
