To Council for [?]
To the Board of Public Works,
We citizens and tax payers of Seattle do petition your Honorable Body that the commendable work just completed in our enterprising suburban Town Fremont, may be extended to some extent at least, to the people of Edgewater, that we also may have a lamp to our feet, and a light to our path. Now gentlemen the facts are that when we leave the car at the south end of Boman Avenue under the glare of those lamps we at once go as it were into outer darkness and group our way along at the risk of life + limb to our several places of abode. Gentlemen, at nightfall that whole position of our beautiful city lying directly north of Lake Union is shrouded in darkness. Therefore we would most respectfully suggest that an arc lamp be put at the intersection of Hanson and Oliver Streets (about four [?] east of Downs Hotel). Another one at the corner of Oliver and Elmer, and also one at the intersection of Elmer and George St.
Trusting that this modest request will be met with your approval, and that the work may be done without unnecessary delay, we remain most respectfully yours &c
