Seattle, September 19th, 1893.

To the Hon. Board of Public Works, of the City of Seattle, Wash.

Gentlemen:

Your petitioners, residents and property owners at Fremont and Edgewater, hereby petition your Honorable Body to order the ten arc lights that are to be erected in Fremont and Edgewater to be placed on the top of poles. The section to be lighted from these lamps has but few buildings and all of them are low; if the lights can be placed high a much larger territory would be illuminated, and many streets would receive the benefit from such lights that would not if they were suspended across the intersection of the streets.

Seattle, Wash., September 19th, 1893

To the Hon. Mayor and Common Council of the City of Seattle.

Gentlemen: -

The undersigned, residents in the vicinity of Kilbourne Ave., Vermont, Harrison and Jay Streets, hereby petition your Honorable Body to change the location of the electric arc light ordered to be placed at the intersection of Kilbourne Ave. and Jay St. to the corner of Kilbourne Ave. and Vermont St., for the reason that no one lives on Jay St. while Vermont St. has residents on both sides of the street its full length. If said arc light was placed on the top of a pole it would be ten or twelve feet higher than if suspended across the intersection of the streets and would thus light a larger territory.

And your petitioners will ever humbly pray.
