Seattle, November 30th.1890.

To the Board of Aldermen of the City of Seattle

Gentlemen:-

We the undersigned citizens and taxpayers would most respectfully call your attention to the present high License paid by the Auctioneers of this city, viz: $400.00 per year, which is more than is exacted in any city on the Pacific Coast. The present license is beyond the reach of anyone doing a fair legitimate business. We would propose that the License be reduced to $200.00 per year, payable yearly by all Auctioneers who are citizens of the city. We would also call your attention to the necessity of making a distinction between the Auctioneer who is a citizen and the transient man. We consider it would be a benefit to the business men of the City of Seattle if no license be issued to any man who has not such recommendation as to personal character as will command him to the confidence of the business community.
