The Puget Sound National Bank of Seattle.

Seattle, May 22 1884

To the Hon. Council of the City of Seattle

Gentlemen

The undersigned respectfully asks
your honorable body to strike from the assessment
roll the amount of $7300.00 given by petitioner
in his list as mortgages held by him.
This was given in under the impression that
all mortgages are taxed in this City but now
finds that only few if any have been given to
the assessor and this taxation would be
unequal and therefore trusts his request
will be granted.

Very respectfully

J. Furth
