City of Seattle Records

To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Seattle: We, the undersigned business men, residents and tax payers of said City, understanding that there is in circulation a petition remonstrating against the contrast of the City letting the lighting thereof to the Rainier Power Railway Company and the Seattle Gas and Electric Light Company, which said petition is being circulated in the interests of the Union Electric Company, beg to urge on your Honorable body the full appreciation we have, and are confident you have, for the necessity of an economical administration of the affairs of the City, and a lessening of the pres ent burden borne by the tax payers. We are further of the opinion that the awarding of this contract to the lowest bidder would effect a large saving to the City and meet with public approval.
