Seattle, September, 1889

To the Honorable The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Seattle:

It is with pleasure that your petitioners observe a dis-
position on the part of the Council to place some restrictions
upon the liquor traffic, by forming a district, outside of which
no saloons shall be allowed.

The district as outlined by the committee on License and
Revenue, in their recent report, included within its limits a
part of Third street.

Your petitioners respectfully represent that Third street
between James and Stewart streets is yet largely a residence
street, and situated upon it are several churches, and two or more
are soon to be built thereon; that the University grounds are but
one-half block from it, and in the opinion of your petitioners the
extension of the saloon district to include this part of Third
street is entirely uncalled for and unnecessary:

THEREFORE, we the undersigned property owners, residents
and business firms on Third street between James and Stewart
streets, do most earnestly request your Honorable Body to exclude
that part of Third street lying between James and Stewart streets,
from the district in which saloon licenses are to be granted; and
your petitioners will forever pray etc.
