Seattle, Wash. April 24th, 1893

To The Honorable Chairman & Members Of The Board of Public Works Of The City of Seattle.

Gentlemen:

The undersigned respectfully represent to your Honorable Body that they are engaged in furnishing water to the residents of that portion of the City of Seattle commonly known as Fremont, by means of pipes laid along various streets in said portion of the City, and that it is necessary for the welfare and accommodation of said locality, that the said lines of pipe be extended from time to time, and that new lines be laid in order that water may be furnished to parties desiring the same.

We would therefore ask your Honorable Body to issue to the undersigned and to their successors in interest, the right and privilege of making such extensions and additions along the streets and alleys of said portion of the City at such times as may be necessary or convenient for the purposes above stated.

Seattle, Washington, May 9th, 1893.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Seattle:

The undersigned, residence and property owners in Fremont in the City of Seattle, hereby respectfully present this our remonstrance against the allowance by you of the petition of L.A. Griffith and I. T. Burlingame for permission to extend in Fremont their system of water pipes in Fremont, which petition has been duly filed and was on April 25th of last, referred to a committee for investigation and report.

The grounds of our remonstrance are as follows: That the said L. A. Griffith and I. T. Burlingame do not own any permanent water rights with which to supply their present system, or any extention thereof with water; that the water with which they now supply their present system is, and has been heretofore taken by them under a mere license, revocable at will from Samuel Blair and William J. Dutton the owners of the Northwest quarter of the Northwest quarter of Section Nineteen (19), Township Twenty-five (25) North of Range Four (4) East W. M., in said Fremont, and that said license has been now revoked and recalled, and the said L. A. Griffith and I. T. Burlingame will not, after the 7th day of June, 1893, be able to furnish any water whatever through their system.

That your petitioners believe that any grant to said L. A. Griffith and I. T. Burlingame of permission to extend their water pipes, as aforesaid, will seriously injure the said City of Fremont, and the undersigned, your remonstrators, for the reason that it probably would prevent any other person able to furnish the people of Fremont with water, from laying pipes for water service along the streets in which said extension might be made to the great injury and detriment, as aforesaid, of your petitioners and other residents and property owners in said Fremont.
