Seattle, Wash. Sept 6th 1890

A petition to improve the alley between 9th & 10th Sts. and Pike & Pine Sts.

To the Honorable Mayor and the Council of the city of Seattle: -

Gentlemen: -

Whereas, the alley between 9th & 10th Sts. and Pike & Pine Sts. is the natural drain way for several blocks in that vicinity and Whereas, the recent grading of Pine street has partially stopped the flow of water while the increasing settlement of the neighborhood has added to the need of and outlet, and Whereas, the presence of stagnant sewage not only makes said alley impassable but furnishes a sanitary condition perilous to all who dwell near it, Therefore we, the undersigned taxpayers and residents in the aforementioned district do respectfully pray your honorable body to abate this nuisance and to render the alley passable;

and unto the accomplishment of this end we do forever pray.
