Seattle, Washington__Feb. 7th, 1891___
To The Board of Public Works
of the City of Seattle,
Sirs,
In the grading of South 14th St.
no cribbing was put in along the front of my lot Lot 7, Block 9.
Syndicate Addition and earth has
been thrown upon it covering the front
35 feet and banking up against
my house. The grading of the street
and banking the dirt thereon renders my lot
practically valueless for present use.
I think damages to at least the amount
of the grade tax should be allowed me
$81.03. I understand that no cribbing
was put in when the grading was done
because it would be cheaper to pay
damages to property holders there. I think
my claim is very moderate and ought to
be allowed.
