affording connections with the Lake Union Boulevard. 2.--Lake Avenue is already graded from the Bay to Depot Street, a distance of five blocks, and cannot be closed without working a detriment to the property of those citizens who have already paid grade taxes with the understanding that the street would be further extended according to the plats dedicating it to the City for street purposes. 3.--That the land comprising said Avenue was dedicated to the public for street purposes only, and we protest against the City vacating the land for the benefit of a few abutting property owners, who comprise a very small fraction of the public, and who have fathered the aforementioned petition simply for their own selfish ends, and not from any regard for the public welfare.
