To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the city of Seattle.

We, your petitioners, owners of real property contiguous to the herein proposed street, would respectfully pray for the location and establishment, as provided by law, of a street, to be eighty (80) feet in width; beginning at the intersection of Ranier Avenue and Lane Street, in "The Hill Tract Addition of the city of Seattle", and running thence in a southerly direction, corresponding with the line of the Ranier Electric Railway, to the southern boundary of the city of Seattle, excepting so much thereof as is already dedicated as a street.

We would respectfully offer as a few of the reasons for locating said street; that there is a large and rapidly increasing population adjacent ot said proposed street, which has no direct communication with the business portion of the city; that a considerable portion of said street will be through unplatted land; that a county road will, in all probability, be laid out this summer, which will connect with the southern end of said proposed street at the city boundary, and which will extend south through a thickly settled portion of the County, to which there is now no direct road from the city and extend to the town of Renton; that said road will be direct and comparatively level, and will make one of the best drive-ways in the city; and that the topography of the country is such, that the line of the proposed street will be in the natural course of the sewer, to connect a large portion of the city with the sewer tunnel, now being constructed in the lower part of the city. The damages awarded property owners may be assessed on property benefited is deemed advis-
