Seattle May 12th 1892 To the Honorable Board of Public Works of the City of Seattle:-

We the undersigned owners, tax payers, and residents, of and in the neighborhood of B Street in the 4th Precinct of the First Ward of this City, humbly petition your Hon Body to open said Street B from 12th Street to Grant Street Bridge and have it made passable for foot passengers and teams: at the city's expense:-

We would call the attention of your Hon body to the following facts:-

The said B Street has a bridge connecting 10th Street with Grant Street Bridge and is the only public connection between Dearborn Street and the Bayview Brewery and necessarily used greatly as a connecting point with the Grant Street Electric Railway, and if this petition is granted will be a most convenient inlet and outlet for all persons between the said points as far up as 14th Street.

12th Street is planked to B and would make a most desirable connection. For these and many other urgent reasons we humbly request the granting of this petition E [H?] Smith John H. Park. W. E. Hodder W B Phillips

TO THE HONORABLE;

The Board of Public Works. Seattle, Washington.

Gentlemen;

We, The Undersigned, residents of Beacon Hill in the City of Seattle, respectfully petition that five ( 5) Arc Lights be located at the following points on 14th Street and Fifteenth streets on Beacon Hill

One Light at the corner of 15th Street and Frederick streets. One Light at the corner of Amy Street and Fifteenth streets. One Light at the corner of Grand Street and Fourteenth streets. One Light at the corner of Atlantic Street and Fourteenth streets. One Light at the corner of Canal Street and Fourteenth streets.

At the present time there is not a City light established on the Hill. We are without police protection and owing to these conditions are liable to all the danger and annoyance that darkness and lack of protection entail. Thousands of dollars have been expended in improvements on Beacon Hill, yet up to the present time we have been unable to secure any light service whatever. We earnestly request that this petition may receive your early attention, and such action be taken by your Honorable Board as will bring this matter to the attention of the proper officials in order that the lights petitioned for may be established at an early date.

Respecfully yours, New England Northwestern Investment Co, M. N. Young, General Manager.
