City of Seattle Records

Your Hon. Body will be aware from an inspection of your records and papers on file in the Office of your Clerk, that this subject was fully canvassed at that time and decided by gentlemen whose impartial judgment in that matter, cannot be questioned upon any ground of antagonism to the liquor interest or disposition to restrict business enterprises.

Upon the occasion referred to, to wit: at the meeting of this Council on June 6th, 1884, there was a full attendance of the members and 5 out of the 9 present voted for the rejection of the application of Mr. Pritchard for a license at the place referred to, to wit: For the rejection of the application Messrs Charles McDonald, Geo. W. Harris, Otto Ranke, B. F. Day, and B. L. Northup.

We would further represent that at this time the prospect of any general business in that vicinity is even more remote than at the time when the former application was made and that the said applicant can have no expectation of making the business of the sale of liquor at said point profitable unless his premises shall be a resort and retreat for such persons as have been referred to.

[end crossed-out paragraph]

We would further represent that it is the intention of
