69 5/23-90 Report of Sewer Committee on Nuisance 4th and Wall Sts Filed May 23 1890 Clerk

To the Honorable and Common Council of the City of Seattle: Gentlemen: your committee on Sewers to whom was referred the complaint in reference to a nuisance said to exist on property owned by F Hochbrunn and situated on North Seattle beg to report that we have investigated the matter and find that a nuisance does not exist as stated, being a large pool of Stagnant water which has no outlet at present. Source of said water undoubtly came from the adjoining streets - by the same thing would have occured, were no streets graded above said lots. We find that in all similar cases the property owner has been obliged to either fill up or drain the premises, and would recommend that the same course be followed in this instance, and that Mr Hochbrunn be notified to abate said nuisance inthe manner indicated above.
