Seattle Wash Dec 31, 1890 2 Hon Board of Public Works of the City of Seattle Gentlemen We, your petitioners resident freeholders of the City of Seattle would most respectfully ask that your honorable body order the replanking of South Eighth Street from Weller Street to Dearborn Street and that same be done as once, and Submit the follonwing facts to show the necessity for said work. South Eighth Street is the principal throughfare for hauling as for all producers coming into the City from its Southern Boundry, in its present condition said street is utterly impassible, compelling property owners to come into the City by way of the Seattle Transfer Company's driveway, That said Transfer Co, exacts and collects tolls for the use of said driveway, thereby placing a burden upon people unable to afford it, and which can be obviated by the planking of the town Clerks above mentioned ie: from Weller to Dearborn Streets.
