Seattle, Washington, February 20th 1893

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of
Seattle :-
Your petitioners Dahl and Melling represents unto this
honorable body, that they are the occupants of the
Building on Pike Streets between Front and Second
Streets in the City of Seattle, that the side door
of said room opens into an alley on the west
side of said building, that the surface of said alley
is about (5) five feet above the floor of said
room, completely blocking the entrance to said
door; that your petitioners wish to construct a
stairway from said alley to said door, and for that
purpose to make use of a portion of said alley
about 30 thirty inches in width and about five feet
in length, that said ally is eighteen feet in width and
that said entrance if constructed will not impede
travel through said alley; that your petitioners
are willing to erect proper guards to said entrance
for the safety of traveling through the alley.

Wherefore your petitioners pray for permission
to construct said entrance.

Very Respectfully,
Dahl & Melling
for P. P. Dahl
