To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Seattle,

Gentlemen: Your committee on Judiciary and Legislation
to whom was referred the petition of Mary Costello,
praying for a return of a portion of the
taxes of 1884, assessed against the petitioner,
find the facts as stated in this petition,
but in view of the large number of similar
cases in the city assessment list for
1884, your committee beg to report
the petition back to your honorable body
without recommendation.

B.L. Northup
