Office of M F Backus, Receiver Seattle Consolidated Street Railway Company 200 Pike Street P O Box No 56 Telephone 103 A Dunn, Auditor Referred by order of The Board of Public Works to The City Council George F Meacham secy Seattle Washington Dec 7, 1894 Received Dec 8 1894 Board of Public Works Seattle - Wash Board of Public Works, City Gentlemen :We beg leave to acknowledge of your favor of the 4th inst., and in reply, would say, that there is nothing in our franchise, nor anything in the way of justice that would require us to maintain a pavement throught Albert and Howell Streets. We think we are not required to pave our tracks or any streets unless the street is paved by the city, on the portion not covered by our track. We realize, however, that it is an absolute necessity for the traffic in that end of the town to have a paved roadway over those streets. We therefore make you the following proposition :You furnish us necessary plank delivered on the street, and we furnish all labor and other material, and keep the paving within our tracks on good repair. Or, we will do the work, furnishing all labor and material, provided the city will pay half the expense of same. We thing that this proposition should meet with your approval as it seems to us to be eminently fair. Attached herewith, for your convenience, plaese find your favor referred to. Encl. Yours Truly [illegible]
