Seattle, Wash. August 7th, 1893 To The Honorable Council of the City of Seattle. Gentlemen: The time in which I was to begin the delivery of the Book of Ordinances for the City having about expired and The Book being only about Three-Fourths done, I must respectfully petition your honorable body for an extention of time to September 12th for the Delivery of the First 100 copies and an extension of 30 days on the time for final delivery. Reasons for delay are: First: - The stoppage of work by the ordinance Commissioner to allow Ordinances not passed when work commenced but passed afterward to be inserted in their proper places. Second: - The inability of the Commissioner and the City Clerk to make proper compairison of Proofs with the Records as fast as the printer could supply them. Third: - The rushing of such a work would result in errors and The Commissioner and Printers have at the expence of time endeavored to produce a Book as free from errors and as nearly perfect as possible. That you will grant this request your petitioner forever prays. Most respectfully F. Anthony

To the Honorable Board of Public Works

City of Seattle - Gentlemen -

On the 10th and 14th inst I forwarded communications to the honorable Mayor of this city, setting forth, at his request, the apparent financial condition of each of the various street sewers authorized to be constructed from the proceeds of the Seattle Sewer Bonds of 1893. In that communication it was shown that, prior to the 23rd day of February, there had been an overdraft of $7383.02 upon the appropriation for the construction of the Front and Commercial Street Sewer; also that, in addition to said overdraft, an expenditure estimated at $8840.00 would be necessary to complete the sewer, making necessary a total additional appropriation of $16,223.02 for that sewer. The same communication showed that on Main Street an additional appropriation of $3217.19 was needed to complete the sewer as authorized.

Owing to the condition in which the work now stands upon these streets, viz-Front, Commercial and Main Streets, and owing to the fact that there are undoubtedly some time-checks and bills outstanding held by innocent
