To the Hon Mayor and Common Council
of the City of the Seattle
Gentlemen:
The undersigned, your
petitioners, being either residents on or
near, or property holders on or near the
South Boundry Line of your City would
respectfully represent.
That there is now no one able to
tell within some two hundred feet of where
The South Boundry Line of your City passes.
On this account it has been impossible
for the assessors to determine what lots
should be assessed to the City or what
should be omitted from the City assess-
ment. As an illustration of the vaience
made by assessors we would state that
Mr Dibble paid tax on Eighteen lots
in 1884, but pays on but ten lots this
year, though owning the same property.
Inasmuch Therefore, as we understand that
the City Surveyor had been instructed to set
stone monument of Government Corners,
we would ask that while engaged in
the work he be instructed to properly mark
out the South Boundary line of the City.
And your Petitioners woul ever
humbly pray etc.
over.
